TNT to embrace more of eastern Europe and serve extra airports
A three-year expansion plan will see TNT covering seven more countries in eastern Europe and serving 12 additional airports.
In a rare media briefing in London, Alan Jones, group MD of TNT Express, said: “We want to build on our strengths in Europe and grow in the rest of the world.” The integrator now has 500 depots in 31 countries, deploys its own aircraft at 55 airports and uses commercial lift elsewhere, enabling it to offer service to 208 countries.
Later average departure times from most airports meant good cut-off times for customers, Jones said, and in some cases – he quoted Milan’s Linate airport and Tegel at Berlin – TNT was the only freight carrier in key central locations.
