Eastar Jet Expands Cargo Business... Launches Manado-Incheon Route
Tuna, an Indonesian specialty, shipped to Osaka, Japan
11th cargo route... Expansion to Xiamen, China planned within the year
Eastar Jet has secured its 11th cargo route by launching cargo services on the Manado-Incheon route.
Eastar Jet said on October 15 that it had launched cargo services on the Manado-Incheon route on October 14, using the baggage compartment of passenger aircraft to carry belly cargo.
The main cargo item is tuna, a specialty of Indonesia. The tuna is flown from Manado to Incheon and then transported to Japan on flights from Incheon to Osaka, using a transshipment system.
Eastar Jet is also continuing to expand transshipment cargo volumes by using its existing routes, including transporting pharmaceuticals on the Tokyo-Incheon-Zhengzhou route and industrial materials on the Tokyo-Incheon-Yantai route.
For routes Eastar Jet does not operate, it uses an "interline" arrangement in partnership with other airlines. It transports e-commerce products and other goods by connecting its Taipei-Incheon route with other airlines' Incheon-Americas routes.
Eastar Jet plans to expand its cargo business to the Xiamen route in China within the year. E-commerce products and cosmetics are expected to be the main items transported on the route.
An Eastar Jet representative said, "The Manado route in Indonesia has strong potential for cargo business growth because of the large volume of seafood exports, including tuna. We will continue to expand transshipment and interline cargo volumes centered on Incheon and strengthen our competitiveness."
