Bridges Worldwide has added an intra-European cargo route linking Cologne Bonn Airport with Malta and Larnaca in Cyprus using a Boeing 737-400 Freighter.

The new route will operate five times a week from Monday to Friday using a 737-400 provided by Swiftair with a payload of 20 tonnes per flight.

Bridges Worldwide chief executive officer, Guy Bridges says: “With the introduction of this new route Bridges Worldwide is meeting the increasing uplift demands of the express cargo carriers and the German forwarder community. Furthermore we are offering for the first time direct main deck capacity for the booming fish and perishable exports from Cyprus to Western Europe.”

Cologne Bonn Airport chief executive officer, Johan Vanneste says: “We are pleased to welcome Bridges Worldwide as a new member to the fast growing CGN cargo family. The introduction of this new high frequency freighter link shows clearly the great cargo potential of CGN and the CGN cargo catchment area.”
