Swiss WorldCargo, the freight division of Swiss International Air Lines, has opened its Cancun (CUN) station for exports. With this development, all flights between Zurich and Cancun can now carry freight on both their inbound and outbound journeys.
Swiss WorldCargo connects Cancun and Zurich with a thrice-weekly Airbus A340-300 service, operated by Edelweiss, sister company of Swiss International Air Lines. The aircraft will offer a payload in excess of 15 tonnes on each leg of the flight. In Cancun, Skylog, a member of the ECS Group, will manage all commercial activity for this new service, while Swissport will oversee ground operations. Inbound flights depart Zurich in the afternoon and arrive in Cancun in the evening, while outbound flights leave Cancun in the evening and arrive in Zurich the following afternoon. With this schedule, customers in Mexico benefit from late delivery times in Cancun as well as ideal arrival times in Zurich for many same-day connections to Swiss WorldCargo’s worldwide destinations in Europe, Africa and Asia.
