Cargo carrier leverages its ACC3 air cargo security designation to strengthen EU corridor
SolitAir, the UAE’s dedicated B2B, airport-to-airport cargo airline, today announced the launch of cargo services to Bucharest’s Otopeni International Airport (OTP), Romania – its second destination in the European Union made possible by the carrier’s ACC3 (Air Cargo and Mail Carrier from a Third Country) designation, granted by the Belgian Civil Aviation Authority.
The new service connects SolitAir’s hub at Dubai World Central (DWC) directly to a market of 19 million re-inforcing a corridor that links the carrier’s established Middle East, Africa and Asia network to the EU single market.
The new route follows a few weeks after SolitAir launched the Dubai World Central (DWC)-EU corridor with its inaugural services to Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital city.
Premier logistics hub
Romania is rapidly emerging as a premier cargo and logistics hub in Southeast Europe, driven by its strategic Black Sea access via the Port of Constanța, full Schengen border integration, and major investments in regional multimodal transport corridors.
“Romania sits where the Black Sea trade routes meet the EU single market and that’s exactly the kind of corridor SolitAir exists to serve,” reiterated Hamdi Osman, Founder & CEO, SolitAir.
The launch follows SolitAir’s receipt of ACC3 status, which authorises the carrier to transport cargo and mail into the European Union and European Economic Area in compliance with EU aviation security requirements.
