FastTrack.aero partners with Visa, Priority Pass and LoungeKey

We have formed a strategic partnership with Priority Pass and LoungeKey to provide access to FastTrack.aero, our online marketplace for premium airport services. Through the affiliate program, Priority Pass and Lounge Key, which are part of the Collinson Group, can now provide FastTrack.aero’s meet & assist services to their 40 million members under their own brands, creating a seamless booking experience for travellers. We have signed a further agreement with Visa, to offer card holders in all eight local banks of Kuwait meet and assist and baggage delivery services. This will boost the exposure of our executive services and fasttrack.aero, while also generating more revenue for our stations.

CEIV Pharma accreditation at Amsterdam

Our cargo facility at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), pictured above, has achieved CEIV Pharma accreditation. Recognised by IATA, the certification underlines our capabilities in handling high-value, time sensitive, and temperature-controlled pharmaceutical products with speed, consistency and efficiency. We have also invested in IT software to ensure pharma checklists are digitized and correct handling is guaranteed. With a team of 250 employees, the 37,000m2 warehouse handles annual throughputs of approximately 300,000 tonnes. Congratulations to everyone involved in achieving the CEIV Pharma accreditation.

Amerijet expansion in the Americas

We have won new cargo business with Amerijet International Airlines at three airports in the Americas. At Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) we will provide cargo and freighter handling for ten 767F flights per week, at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) we will provide cargo trucking line haul for six scheduled 747F flights per week as well as charter flights, and at Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) in Jamaica we will provide freighter handling for four 757 aircraft every week. This builds on our relationship with the Miami-headquartered cargo carrier at Ontario International Airport (ONT), Canada.

Heathrow cargo wins two new customers

Our Heathrow Airport (LHR) cargo team will commence handling for Royal Air Maroc and cargo and airside trucking for Royal Jordanian Airlines later this month. The national flag carriers for Jordan and Morocco operate daily wide and narrow body flights to LHR. The wins will add an additional 6,022 tonnes annually to our LHR cargo operation and will complement our existing customers.

Jazeera Airways lands in Serbia

We have expanded our relationship with Jazeera Airways in the Balkans with a new contract at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG) to provide supervision, ancillary services and representation for two weekly flights from Kuwait to Serbia’s capital. This builds on our existing relationship with Jazeera at Tivat Airport (TIV), Montenegro.

Tanzania welcomes Air France

Our team in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania is now providing ground services to Air France’s new route from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). Air France last flew this route to Julius Nyerere International Airport ((DAR) 28 years ago. We are providing passenger and ramp services to three B787-900 flights per week.

Five new locations in Mexico following launch of operations for ultra low-cost airline Volaris

Congratulations to our team in Mexico for the successful startup of Volaris at six airports, including five new locations in the northern part of the country. The new, three-year ground services contracts will see our teams handle 7,1000 additional turns per year for Volaris. This marks the start of a new chapter with the largest airline in Mexico by number of aircraft and takes our total number of airports where we support Volaris to ten. It also means we have increased our footprint in Mexico from 33 airports to 37. Welcome to our new colleagues at Los Mochis (LMM), La Paz (LAP), Zacatecas (ZCT), Durango (DGO) and Ciudad Obregon (CEN) airports.
