ANA Cargo’s Boeing 777F freighter will service regularly scheduled cargo flights between Narita (NRT) and Frankfurt (FRA) starting 28 October, a press release confirmed.
ANA Cargo expects to operate a record 499 cargo-only flights for the month of October using passenger aircraft throughout its network.
This is the highest number of cargo flights since June when it carried 33,640.6 tonnes of international cargo.
With demand for air cargo transportation surging given limited passenger flight operations, ANA Cargo will utilise passenger aircraft owned by ANA Group, including 11 freighters, to maintain the supply chain and flexibly operate cargo flights.
