THE CMA CGM Group is stepping up its strategic development in logistics by creating a specialised air freight division: CMA CGM AIR CARGO.
To support its expansion into air freight, the CMA CGM Group is buying four 60-tonne-payload Airbus A330-200F freighter aircraft, which came into service between 2014 and 2016. With a range of 4,000 nautical miles, they will connect Europe with the rest of the world.
The CMA CGM Group will entrust the operation of its freighter fleet to a European airline.
Rodolphe Saadé, chairman and CEO of the CMA CGM Group, said, “In response to the growing demand from our customers for agile logistics solutions, we are creating a new division within the CMA CGM Group dedicated to air transport.
“This division will launch with four Airbus A330-200F aircraft and will leverage commercial partnerships with airlines in order to deliver global coverage. This is a major milestone in the development of our logistics services.”
Present on every continent and in 160 countries through its network of 755 offices and 750 warehouses, the CMA CGM Group employs more than 110,000 people worldwide, of which 2,400 in Marseille where its head office is located.
