The first flight operated by MSC Air Cargo, the MSC Group’s air cargo division, has departed from Italy’s Malpensa Airport.
In particular, the Boeing 777-200 Freighter, adorned with the MSC livery in white with yellow and black stripes, landed at the Lombard airport from Liege Airport (Belgium) before departing for Tokyo, Japan.
This inaugural flight is part of a weekly service, operating every Friday with a departure from Malpensa at 3:55 PM and arriving in Tokyo at 3:00 PM (local time).
According to MSC, the aircraft has a maximum payload capacity of up to 100 tonnes and will primarily focus on exporting high-value Italian products. More specifically, it will include luxury fashion and accessories, destined for the Far East markets.
Jannie Davel, senior vice president of MSC Air Cargo, commented, “We are delighted to have celebrated this significant inaugural flight dedicated to the Italian market alongside our clients.”
He added, “We are even more pleased to provide valuable Italian goods with an efficiency and weekly connection to some of today’s most vibrant markets for high-value product exports.”
