Tunisia's Express Air Cargo eyes mid-3Q launch date

Express Air Cargo (Enfidha) has revised its launch plans ahead of a revised launch date of August this year. Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Anis Riahi, told Cargo Facts that the start-up would use a pair of converted B737 freighters for its initial operational requirements with three turboprop freighters (either ATR 72s or BAe ATP(F)s) and a B737-400(F) to arrive during the first half of 2017.

Network-wise, Express Air Cargo will develop Enfidha into a regional conduit handling traffic between North Africa and destinations in Europe such as Cologne/Bonn, Marseilles, and Paris. The network will also be extended south of the Sahara to reach countries in West and Central Africa as well, Riahi added.
