Cargo B Airlines to add first Boeing 747-400F

Cargo B Airlines is set to mark the first anniversary of its launch of scheduled services out of Brussels with the planned arrival of its first B747-400 freighter before the end of this year. Since starting services in Oct-07, Cargo B has operated older B747-200F.
The new B747-400F will be deployed on three weekly flights to Latin America, serving Sao Paulo, Lima, Quito and Bogota. The two B747-200F aircraft will be retained to provide back-up and charter capacity during the coming months.
Cargo B is now focussing solely on the South America routes. South Africa services were stopped in Jun-08 simply because the rates were no longer viable. Cargo B remains interested in Africa because of the size of the Belgium-to-Africa market.
Outbound from Brussels, 90% of the cargo carried is destined for Brazil.
