When the winter schedule kicks in on 25OCT26, Air France KLM Martinair Cargo (AFKLMP Cargo) route network will show an additional three pins. Running until 27MAR27, it will serve a total of 14 freighter destinations, 112 wide-body belly destinations worldwide (joint venture partner, Delta’s included) and 54 European points, all fed through its Paris Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam Schiphol hubs.
The headline addition is Cairo (CAI), which gets three weekly Boeing 777F flights from Air France. This freighter service offers dedicated main-deck space between Europe and North Africa, independent of passenger flights. Also, over in India, Air France’s freighter connection will switch from Mumbai’s old airport (BOM) to the new Navi Mumbai International (NMI), with two weekly flights. KLM/Martinair’s Boeing 747 freighters will continue to link Amsterdam with the Americas, Africa and Asia. Seoul (ICN) gets extra freighter attention, too: three weekly connections (one standalone and two combined with Hong Kong (HKG)).
Meanwhile, its belly network sees two new holiday destinations being served out of Paris: Punta Cana (PUJ) in the Dominican Republic – three weekly Boeing 777-300ER flights will launch in NOV26, and, from DEC26 on, Malé (MLE) in the Maldives will be served with two weekly Airbus A350-900 services. Seasonal favorites, Ottawa (YOW) and Barbados (BGI), will also return.
Joint venture partner, Delta Cargo offers generous North Atlantic capacity, while interline partnerships stretch the global reach further. Within Europe, 54 narrow-body belly destinations plus a trucking network funnel freight into the two hubs, giving customers quick access to intercontinental routes from almost anywhere on the continent. Pierre-Olivier Bandet, Executive Vice President Cargo at Air France-KLM, emphasized: “Winter is a demanding season for our customers, from the year-end peak to the flower season in the run-up to Valentine’s Day. We combine dedicated main deck capacity with the reach of our wide-body and European belly networks via Paris and Amsterdam. With our new services to Cairo, Punta Cana and Malé, we offer our customers reliable capacity, flexibility and more choice throughout the season.”
