TNT is enhancing its service capacity between China and Europe with the addition of a new dedicated B747-400ER freighter.

The new freighter mirrors investments being made by TNT in its Middle East operations, with its extensive Middle East Road Network ( Mern), said to be the largest and fastest of its kind.

Branded in full TNT livery, the B747-400ER is expect to be a regular visitor to Dubai helping to support the vast quantities of freight moving from both Europe and the Far East, where it will then be seamlessly delivered across the region via Mern.

Non-stop flights will operate between Hong Kong and TNT’s European air hub in Belgium. This allows for connectivity with TNT’s leading air and road network for delivery throughout Europe. The company can thus offer its customers fast transit times and control and visibility over shipments moving between Asia and Europe, while optimising costs and fleet utilisation.

TNT Express in the Middle East continues to invest in its services, offering clients more inter-modal options - sea/road and air/road - than ever before. The company has also recently invested in new hub facilities in Jafza.

“We look forward to welcoming the new Boeing to Dubai in the coming weeks. It will be a great addition to our strong existing fleet of land and air freight vehicles,” said Bryan Moulds, country general manager, TNT Express.
