Singapore Airlines Cargo Virtual Opens Its Doors
Author: admin | Category: UncategorizedDear Members,
Singapore Airlines Cargo Virtual is proud to the first of its kind here on Simmiles, as a subsidiary of mainstream Singapore Airlines Virtual. The cargo division will run as a separate entity with separate statistics from the mainstream carrier. We currently own a fleet of 9 Boeing 747-400F freighters, which we will use for our North American, European, African and Middle East operations. The European market will be our focus for now, with our secondary hubs in Brussels and Sharjah, where we will base some of our operations.
Unlike normal passenger flights, a cargo flight does quite a number of hops around the world before returning back to base. Such a system would allow our pilots to gain more exposure in flying in foreign territories, where we have to step out of our comfort zone and be familiar with other airports and airspace. Our pilots strongly welcome this new cargo division, and there is support from them to expand our operations, and establish the Singapore Virtual brand as a strong one, here on the Simmiles network.
Singapore Virtual and its subsidiaries, Silkair and Singapore Airlines Cargo, are very open to partnerships with other Virtual Airlines, and we look forward to establish a lasting partnership with interested Virtual Airline partners. Singapore Airlines Cargo is part of the WOW network in the real world, which is a cargo alliance between SAS Cargo, JAL Cargo and SIA Cargo. Should SASv and JALv decide to open cargo divisions, we are very much open for negotiations for a cargo partnership, which benefits all involved.
Singapore Virtual would like to thank all its pilots for their support for the past 1 year of operations, and we cannot thank them enough for bringing us this far. Our pilots have been a very great team, and it has shown us how our active and motivated human resource has established us as one of the leading Virtual Airlines on Simmiles.
Warmest Regards,
Lester Lee
Operations Manager
