aircraft’s operations on both sectors.
Background
The Boeing 737-400 is a narrow-body twin-engine aircraft that
has been widely used for passenger operations and has also been converted into
a dedicated freighter. The freighter variant is designed to carry cargo on the
main deck and is particularly suited to short- and medium-haul logistics
operations.
The introduction of AP-BPC into revenue service gives TCS
additional dedicated air-cargo capacity between Pakistan’s major commercial
centres. The Karachi–Lahore route is an important domestic air-cargo corridor,
connecting the country’s principal seaport and financial hub with one of its
largest industrial and commercial centres.
AP-BPC’s entry into revenue service also represents a further
development in TCS’s aviation logistics operations, providing the company with
dedicated freighter capacity for time-sensitive and high-value shipments.
