CAL Cargo Airlines has launched “CAL Engines,” a service specifically designed for the transportation of aircraft engines. Under the new service, the carrier will transport every size and type of aircraft engine around the world, using 747-400s. CAL is also qualified to deal with dangerous goods, so the carrier will be able to transport non-purged engines, as well.
This new service also includes ground-handling, storage and road-feeder services. In the case of aircraft on the ground, CAL is including expedited customs clearance and transit time, as well as charter options.
According to Eyal Zagagi, CEO of CAL Cargo Airlines, one of the reasons CAL Engines was created was in response to a 25-percent-per-year increase in engine-segment business over the last few years.
