KM Malta Airlines (KMMA) has renewed its Total Cargo Management (TCM) contract with Network Airline Services (NAS) following a competitive tender process, extending a partnership that has been in place for several years.

The Maltese flag carrier operates around 280 weekly flights with a fleet of eight Airbus A320neos, serving 18 direct routes from Malta and working with 18 other global carriers to provide cargo connectivity to over 400 cities worldwide.

David Curmi, executive chairman at KMMA, said: “We are delighted to renew our partnership with NAS. Together we will continue to focus on delivering excellent customer service for our Maltese and international cargo customers.

“NAS & KMMA have developed an unrivalled understanding of the Maltese air freight market allowing KMMA to grow its Cargo business year on year. We are proud to continue working together with NAS to ensure KMMA is always the cargo carrier of choice for customers sending their cargo to and from Malta.”

NAS, the General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) arm of the Network Aviation Group, provides airlines with sales, marketing, and operational support in key cargo hubs around the world.

John Gilfeather, NAS vice president for the UK, Ireland and Malta, said: “We thank KMMA’s management team for recognising the quantity and quality of resource that NAS has put behind the carrier to identify global cargo customers to and from Malta.

“We also thank KMMA for the operational excellence their ground handling partners and airline crews demonstrate daily, to ensure all cargo and mail is handled with care and flies as booked. We look forward to continuing to deliver to our air freight customers together for many years to come.”
