Air Cargo Germany ready for new routes

摘要

After a couple of difficult years, Air Cargo Germany (ACG) is moving resolutely on. The carrier entered the market in the midst of the recession in 2009 - clearly not the best time to start a new business. After surviving the downturn, ACG is now ready to expand, said Michael Bock, the carrier's CEO. The airline recently gained traffic rights to the U.S. Bock, however, appeared to be in no rush to cash them in. "We applied for U.S. traffic rights some time ago as part of our long-term growth strategy, and we have New York and Chicago as our primary target destinations," Bock said. "But currently, we do not envisage a U.S. service start-up before 2013 and only then if there is a market demand."
