Swiss WorldCargo has opened its Cancun, Mexico station for exports with flights from Zurich operated by Edelweiss.

The three Zurich – Cancun flights a week use an Airbus A340-300 offering a payload in excess of 15 tonnes for inbound and outbound figures.

Skylog, a member of ECS Group will manage all commercial activity for the service while Swissport will oversee ground operations.

Flights from Zurich depart in the afternoon and arrive in Cancun in the evening, while outbound flights leave Cancun in the evening and arrive in Zurich the following afternoon.

Customer in Mexico benefit from late delivery times in Cancun and same-day connections to Swiss WorldCargo’s worldwide destinations via Zurich.
