Cargo Italia avvia i voli di linea verso il Nord America


Cargoitalia adds Dubai and Chicago

13-Jan-2010

FOLLOWING the start to its operations in September 2009, Cargoitalia is adding two new destinations to its network.

From 16 January, the airline will start a bi-weekly service to Dubai. This new stop on its Wednesday and Saturday service to Hong Kong replaces the outbound technical stop in Almaty, which is retained on inbound flights.

The Dubai service will carry cargo from Milan, and will also provide a through connection for traffic from the airline’s North American stations.

From 21 January, Cargoitalia will add Chicago to its Thursday transAtlantic service, now operating Milan – New York – Chicago – Milan; Chicago replaces the original Toronto stop. The Sunday transAtlantic service will continue to operate Milan – New York – Toronto – Milan.

Commercial director Roberto Gilardoni said: “These new destinations are designed to create more revenue opportunities from our existing operations, and to test demand. Subject to support for the revised services, and because our operations have now bedded in so well, we are considering stepping up transAtlantic operations with the addition of a Sunday service routing Milan – New York-Chicago –– Milan, plus a third weekly departure to Hong Kong.”

Cargoitalia has meanwhile provisionally scheduled its third MD11F aircraft for June; this is likely to be deployed on services to and from Shanghai.

Mi stupisce il revival dei voli cargo da MXP. Se non ricordo male il settore sta andando globalmente malissimo.
 
Caspita!!!Certo e' un bruttissimo momento per i cargo,visto l'abbassamento delle tariffe al chilo per poter lavorare....E soprattutto visto che in tanti han chiuso.Come italiano auguro di poter campare 100 e piu' anni
 
il network cargo da MXP cresce sempre di più! ormai sono 45 le destinazioni servite nel mondo (19 UE e 25 intercontinentali) :)
 
Cmq quelli di CargoItalia non sono nuovi voli, vengono semplicemente cambiati degli stopover su voli già esistenti, ORD al posto di YYZ e DXB al posto di ALA.

A me sembra che le premesse siano ben diverse che per i pax.... in qualche misura un migliore andamento e' comprensibile.

Meno concorrenza di altri apt, meno rendite di posizione e barriere protezionistiche (non c'e' nessuno da proteggere), meno tempi di avviamento, clienti meno influenzabili, il cargo non viaggia per turismo, va dove c'e' domanda e offerta di merci e bene o male la zona circostante ha entrambe con volumi ragguardevoli.

C'e' da sperare che prosegua, arrivi alle dimensioni che dovrebbe avere dati gli standard di aree economiche paragonabili, e che dia il buon esempio e faccia riflettere anche per il traffico pax coloro che hanno un minimo di possibilita' di alleviare alcune delle magagne che ho elencato piu' su.
 
Malpensa sta aprendo le porte ai cargo per non parlare delle low cost i charter una cifra ha......i voli di linea..anche....:D
e anche dei volo executive e privati ho visto attraccano all'aviazionegenerale...certo a roma solo ciampino atterrano gli aerei dell'avazione generale aerei cargo qualche sparuto a ciampino....ma che fanno a pezzettini le pallet del cargo a malpensa e mandando sul dhl o ups da bergamo? a milano ci so tre aeroporti belli comodi e a roma c'è fiumicino che corre da solo e ciampino che sta esalando l'ultimo respiro.....se poi voi del nord vi lamentate,malpensa è un aeroporto in crescita eccome c'ha di tutto......linate forse è saturo...io lo farei diventa' un city airport ma se la gente non si lamenta del rumore...allora...a fiumicino di voli civili ce ne so tanti,ma se solo quelli fanno girare l'economia di un aeroporto allora.

Cargoitalia boosts schedule by 50%
21/03/2010

Cargoitalia, Italy’s all-cargo carrier, is increasing its schedule by 50% in March.

USA flights will rise to three per week, operating Milan (Malpensa) – New York – Chicago on Wednesdays, Milan – Chicago on Saturdays, and Milan – New York on Sundays.

Flights to Hong Kong will also increase to three-times-weekly. Tuesday services will route via a new destination, Sharjah, while Thursday and Saturday services will continue to transit Dubai. All inbound flights will maintain their technical stop in Almaty.

Says Commercial Director Roberto Gilardoni: “The increase in US services is in direct response to demand. The market was understandably cautious about our operation following the termination of Italian freighter operations in 2008. But we have proven that we are a totally new airline, we have demonstrated our reliability and commitment, and the market has responded with strong support. We are now the only carrier providing direct maindeck capacity from New York to Milan.”

He continues: “We have also had very positive feedback on our Hong Kong services. The extra flight via Sharjah ties in well with our US-Italy services, providing the US market with efficient transfers to Iraq and Afghanistan.”

He concludes: “Provision of a high-quality service is fundamental to our business model. Our plan was always to progressively step up our operations, in order to ensure that our equipment, staff and systems were fully bedded-in without the pressure of high utilisation. This policy has worked very well.

“We are improving our on-time performance every month, and our results to date prove that we are now fully ready to move up a gear - which will enable us to provide a wider range of services to our customers, and to achieve much higher revenues without increasing overheads.”

Cargoitalia will take delivery of its next aircraft (a third MD-11SF) in June 2010, with further fleet expansion already planned up to 2014.

EI-UPU non arriverà mai in Cargoitalia, è andato anch'esso alla Centurion:

MD Douglas MD-11F 48430 508 N985AR Centurion Air Cargo regd 23oct09, ferried 27oct09 DHN-ARA for paint ex EI-UPU

A questo punto che fanno in Cargoitalia? Si tengono solo 2 MD-11F invece dei 3 preventivati (probabile) o ne arriverà un terzo da non si sa dove (più difficile) ?
...

Cargoitalia will take delivery of its next aircraft (a third MD-11SF) in June 2010, with further fleet expansion already planned up to 2014.

Quindi da dove potrebbe arrivare il terzo MD-11? E' uno degli ex AZ o arriva da qualche altra parte?
 
arriverà fra un paio di mesi e non sarà un ex az che sono tutti in centurion/tradewinds
In giro ce ne sono ancora 6 o 7 disponibili
