Here is Bernama's report:

 

SINGAPORE: Cargo airline Transmile Air yesterday began operation into Singapore Changi Airport, making it the first new airline to fly to the airport this year.

 

Airport operator Changi Airport Group (CAG) said Transmile Air would operate six weekly scheduled cargo flights from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur via Kuching and Labuan.

 

Labuan was also a new city link in Changi’s network, CAG said in a statement.

 

Transmile Air’s cargo operations would facilitate trade flows between Singapore and Sarawak, helping major shippers to tap global export markets via Changi’s extensive air cargo network, it added.

 

Transmile Air chief operating officer Robert John Hyslop said the airline’s operations from Changi Airport was especially ideal for the oil and gas industry, as Transmile would be able to accept shipments that were too large or bulky for shipping on narrow-body passenger aircraft.

 

CAG said cargo throughput at Changi in the first two months of this year had increased by 18.4% compared with the same period in 2009.

 

Last month, cargo grew 16.2% to 130,578 tonnes, it added. — Bernama

Thanks Kwek. Seems like I can't wait to get older. Recent weeks have been pure madness and time seems so short as I prepare for a return trip to Ecuador the day after tomorrow.

 

The Transmile B727 may be the oldest into Singapore ... but it sure is one of the prettiest jet in the air and on the ground. Hopefully someday Transmile does well enough to expand and who knows what else it may acquire. This means that when we next come up to KLIA, we could photograph Transmile's B727F taking off! Now that sounds terrible exciting already.
