As
2012 rolls along, the
Schiphol Airport cargo
division that oversees
the third largest air
cargo gateway in Europe
continues to develop business
connections.

Air
India’s management
has—it seems—found
the last ‘magic’
straw that could help the
carrier: the Dreamliner.
The aircraft has been at
the center of controversy
and even spawned one of
the longest pilot strikes
(58 days) in recent memory.
However, the strike is now
history and a number of
the striking pilots have
joined duties and the carrier
is waiting for its first
three fuel-efficient B787s
later this month. By the
end of the year, six more
are supposed to join the
fleet; by the end of March
2013, eight more are expected.
Incidentally
Air India ordered 27 of
the B787s in 2006, with
the first ones joining the
fleet in 2008. |
