LAN CARGO comenzó la primera operación carguera desde Suiza hacia América Latina
October 31, 2014
· El lunes 27 de septiembre comenzó a operar el primer carguero desde la ciudad de Basilea a Sudamérica.
· La ruta es realizada una vez por semana en un Boeing 777F, el avión carguero más grande de la compañía.
Jueves 30 de octubre de 2014.- El pasado lunes 27 de octubre, LAN CARGO, filial de carga de LATAM Airlines Group, inició la primera y única operación carguera desde la ciudad de Basilea, Suiza, con destino a Sudamérica. Su objetivo es ampliar la oferta de transporte, principalmente para la industria farmacéutica.
El vuelo partió a las 19:00 horas con 82 toneladas rumbo al aeropuerto de Guarulhos, ubicado en la ciudad de Sao Paulo, Brasil. El viaje culminó a las 7:00 horas del día martes 28 de octubre, en la ciudad de Santiago de Chile.
Esta operación se realizará todos los lunes en un Boeing 777-F y su itinerario es Ámsterdam– Basilea-Sao Paulo-Buenos Aires-Santiago. El vuelo del próximo lunes 3 de noviembre ya está siendo programado por el equipo de LAN CARGO en Europa. Si bien está orientado en su mayor parte al tráfico de productos farmacéuticos, la compañía también espera captar carga del sur de Alemania y del sureste de Francia.
“Este nuevo servicio carguero directo a América Latina permite a las industrias exportadoras de la región minimizar el traslado terrestre hacia los diferentes Hubs europeos. Esto influye en el ahorro de camionaje y tiempo, además de minimizar las exposiciones a riesgos, aspecto fundamental para carga de alto valor, como la exportada desde esta región”, asegura Guido Henke, Director de LAN CARGO Europa.
El vuelo es operado desde el aeropuerto de Basel – Mulhouse – Freiburg, ubicado en la frontera tripartita de Alemania, Suiza y Francia. Esta característica abre la posibilidad de abarcar la carga de estos países con un alto potencial exportador. Además, el área de cobertura se extiende a las regiones del norte de Italia y Austria, países que también se ven beneficiados por una opción que implica acortar los trayectos terrestres previos a embarcar por vía aérea.
Uno de los principales focos de LAN CARGO en Europa es la diversificación de orígenes y la incorporación de nuevos puntos de ingreso a su red, que deriven en un servicio directo hacia Sudamérica. En este sentido, hace años se sumó a Alemania una operación carguera desde Ámsterdam, cuyo objetivo es captar la carga de los Países Bajos, del Benelux, Reino Unido y los países nórdicos. Ahora, se agrega la operación desde Basilea, ciudad que no sólo consolida una importante industria farmacéutica, sino que también de relojería y moda, entre otros productos.
Además, la región se verá beneficiada por la posibilidad de recibir cargas de importación, en el caso de productos desde Latinoamérica en su mayoría perecederos, de manera directa y sin transbordos terrestres en el continente.
La unidad de carga de LATAM Airlines Group transporta carga en todos los aviones de pasajeros de la compañía. Actualmente, cuenta con frecuencias diarias operadas por TAM desde Milán, París, Frankfurt, Madrid y Londres, a las que suman las operadas por LAN desde Madrid y Frankfurt. Este itinerario se complementa con seis frecuencias cargueras a la semana, operadas en Boeing 777-F desde Frankfurt y Ámsterdam. Una de estas tres frecuencias desde Ámsterdam es la que incorporará a Basilea como una escala adicional en el continente europeo.
LAN CARGO launches first cargo operations between Switzerland and Latin America
October 31, 2014
· Launched on Monday 27 October, this is the first cargo operation from the city of Basel to South America
· The route will operate once a week on a Boeing 777F, the company’s largest cargo aircraft
Thursday 30 October 2014 – Last Monday, 27 October, LAN CARGO, the cargo division of LATAM Airlines Group, inaugurated its first and only cargo operation between the city of Basel in Switzerland and South America. The principal objective will be to increase the cargo transport offering from the region, primarily for the pharmaceutical sector.
The flight departed at 7pm towards Guarulhos International Airport, located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, carrying 82 tons of cargo. The flight concluded at 7am on Tuesday 28 October when it touched down in Santiago de Chile.
The cargo operation will fly every Monday on a Boeing 777F aircraft and its itinerary will be Amsterdam – Basel – Guarulhos (Sao Paulo) – Buenos Aires – Santiago de Chile. The next flight will depart on Monday 3 November and is already being programmed by the LAN CARGO team in Europe. While the main aim of the flight is to assist with the transport of pharmaceutical products, the company also hopes to use the route to transport cargo from the south of Germany and southeast France.
Guido Henke, director of LAN CARGO in Europe, commented “This new direct cargo service to Latin America allows export industries across the region to minimise road feeder service to the different European hubs, saving both time and the need for trucks, as well as minimising risk – a crucial aspect for transporting the high value cargo which is exported from this region.”
The flight will be operated from Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg airport, located on the border between Germany, Switzerland and France. This strategic location opens the possibilities to tap into the transportation of cargo from all three countries. In addition to this, the areas covered also extend to northern Italy and Austria, countries that will benefit from the option to cut down their previously used road feeder service routes and send products by air.
One of LAN CARGO’s principal focuses for Europe is to diversify its locations and incorporate new points of collection into its network, opening up a direct service to South America. Several years ago, LAN CARGO incorporated Germany as cargo operation followed by Amsterdam, which captured cargo from the Netherlands, Benelux, UK and the Nordics. Now, via the incorporation of Basel, LAN CARGO reaches a city that not only plays an important part in the pharmaceutical industry, but also watchmaking and fashion, among other products.
The region will also benefit from the possibility of receiving cargo imports directly from Latin America, most of which will be perishable, without the need for road feeder service.
The cargo division of LATAM Airlines Group transports cargo in all of its passenger planes. Currently, this includes daily flights operated by TAM Airlines from Milan, Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid and London, as well as those operated by LAN Airlines from Madrid and Frankfurt. These services are complemented by the six weekly cargo services operated by the Boeing 777F from Frankfurt and Amsterdam. One of the Amsterdam services is the one that the new Basel stopovers will be incorporated to from Monday.

Se anuncian obras aeroportuarias
October 29, 2014
El Ministerio de obras públicas de Chile ha anunciado que se ha dado la autorización para iniciar el año venidero la construcción del nuevo aeródromo de Peldehue en el sector norte de Santiago, el que permitirá que gran parte de las operaciones que hoy en día se realizan en el Aeródromo Eulogio Sánchez Errázuriz (Tobalaba) que ya llegó al nivel de saturación y además con el transcurso de los años ha quedado rodeado de poblaciones, puedan trasladarse a dicho campo aéreo.
Ubicado en lugares despoblados y con acceso expedito a la capital, a la cual está unido por una excelente autopista, su pronta materialización es una antigua aspiración de todos los sectores que componen la denominada aviación general.
Por otra parte, también se comunicó que se procederá a la ampliación del aeródromo de Mocopulli, aledaño a la ciudad de Castro y que es la principal puerta de entrada por vía aérea a la isla grande de Chiloé.
Inaugurado hace poco más de un año, Mocopulli ya ha mostrado que su terminal de pasajeros se ha tornado estrecho para atender la cantidad de usuarios que lo ocupan y que dado a lo riguroso del clima, requiere de algunas mejoras que brinden un mayor nivel de comodidad a los pasajeros.
En diciembre entregan nuevo aeródromo de Chaitén
October 29, 2014
En diciembre próximo se entregaría al uso público el nuevo aeródromo de Chaitén, el que vendrá a reemplazar el antiguo que fuera completamente destruido por la violenta erupción del volcán Chaitén en mayo de 2008 y que también arrasara con el pueblo chileno del mismo nombre.
Ubicado a treinta kilómetros de Chaitén, con una pista de 1200 mts. de largo y dotado de modernas ayudas visuales para el aterrizaje, posibilitará que las operaciones aéreas que atienden en la actualidad a dicha localidad, dejen de realizarse en el aeródromo de emergencia de Santa Bárbara que fue necesario habilitar tras la furia de la naturaleza.
Lufthansa Technik and Airbus renew early Elite cabin-agreement
October 29, 2014
Lufthansa Technik and Airbus Corporate Jets have renewed their ELITE
Cabin Agreement, building on a co-operation which begun in 2005, when
the ACJ318 was launched. The current agreement has been extended
till 2020.
Under the initial Airbus ACJ318 ELITE-cabin agreement, Lufthansa
Technik was contracted to design, in partnership with Airbus, and
then to outfit, the cabins of these aircraft.
The pre-defined cabin of the ACJ ELITE introduced the wider and
taller cabin of the Airbus ACJ320 Family to a broader market, while
continuing to give customers a choice of options and a wide range of
colours and fabrics. These options now also include more floorplan
variations.
Airbus ACJ318s were initially equipped with ELITE cabins by Lufthansa
Technik’s completion center in Hamburg, but the work was shifted
later to the company’s US-subsidiary BizJet International in Tulsa,
Oklahoma.
Deliveries of outfitted Airbus ACJ318s began in 2007, and 19 of them
have been produced so far. They are in service with clients around
the world, including several VVIP charter companies.
The first of an updated version, the Airbus ACJ318 Enhanced, has just
been completed. It introduces as standard several features that were
previously only options – such as domed ceilings throughout the cabin
– as well as introducing further optional features.
To support sales activities and customer talks Lufthansa Technik’s
“Creative Design” department has developed an IT-based configuraton
tool for the ACJ ELITE program which can be used on different
electronic devices. The tool offers the possibility to demonstrate
the large variety of cabin configurations of the ACJ ELITE and to
adapt the cabin layout quickly to individual customer needs including
the visualization of different colour concepts.
Blackhawk Modifications Sees Steady Growth and Interest in Refurbished Turboprop Aircraft
October 27, 2014
“Good as New for One-Half the Cost” a Strong Message in Today’s Turboprop Marketplace
Orlando, Florida, Oct. 22, 2014 – Blackhawk Modifications Inc., continues to see steady growth and interest in turboprop aircraft upgrades and refurbishments. More powerful engines, advanced avionics, aerodynamic improvements – all can be added to existing airframes thru the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) certification and installation process. The result is a refreshed turboprop airplane with like-new levels of performance, safety and capability, all for a fraction of the cost of a new one.
“It’s true that airframes seldom wear out,” says Bob Kromer, Blackhawk’s Senior VP and Sales and Marketing. “They’re built to last a long time, far longer than the original engines and avionics that came with them. Incorporating our new PT6A engine upgrades along with advanced avionics installations (such as Garmin G1000), new paint and interior results in a refurbished airplane that very closely resembles a new one, inside and out. Looks the same, feels the same, performs the same. The big difference is cost – that refurbished airplane is considerably less expensive. For those who can’t afford the cost barrier of new airplanes, refurbished ones can save significant amounts of upfront acquisition capital while gaining improved safety, comfort, and performance.”
“Refurbishing King Air 90 and 200 models seems to be the strongest at the moment,” continues Kromer. “Those airframes are sturdy, durable and timeless. For King Air customers who install our new, more powerful PT6A-135A, -52 or -61 engines along with state-of-the-art avionics, paint and interior, the result is an airplane ready for years of dependable service, with significantly increased resale value. It makes a winning combination.”
“There is nothing like a power boost to complete an aircraft upgrade,” says Jim Allmon, Blackhawk President and CEO. “Power equals performance equals safety. Blackhawk’s new engine upgrade customers enjoy much stronger climb performance and cruise speed increases of 20 KTAS or more once there. And in case of an engine malfunction in a twin turboprop, having more available power greatly enhances safety margins. We see nothing but continued growth in the turboprop upgrade market because is just makes good sense.”
