Japan to Europe freight anone fly this route?
 

Is there much cargo coming from Japan at the moment and why is the price of freight so expensive compared to everywhere else?

about 16,000 tonnes/month

Alitalia, Air France, KLM & Britisha Airways all seem to have given up & withdrawn the freighters. JAL have about halved the freighter capacity - and that will be disappearing by october. Just leaves CLX and NCA.

On the pax ops side - JAL alone chopped 50% capacity (at least) .

So it's supply & demand - the supply has gone & the demand has pushed prices back up.

Makes sense now as a lot of firms have pulled out of Asia. I read in the times that the air freight sector is on it's knees in Japan. I would of thought they would encourage business to use air instead of sea as the price of containers is silly.
I got a price on air freight for a car a few days back..........£25,000 :eek:
It was £3500-5k last year silly prices at the moment. Anyone got any ideas?

ICV - Cargolux Italia, weekly KIX-MXP-LUX.

FedEX (who else) is looking for a lot of flights direct using the 777

try KE/CX used them a lot in the past to NRT for cars.

Isn't KLM/AF or LH starting their Japan freighter again? how about BR sure they had a freighter into KIX a while ago.

NCA, 5 times a week, Nrt- AMS - MXP.
