Air France KLM Martinair Cargo has expanded its cargo services between Amsterdam (AMS) and Georgetown (GEO), Guyana, now offering both import and export capabilities on its KLM-operated flights. The move follows the successful launch of import cargo operations with exports, Customers can now rely on consistent bellyhold capacity twice weekly in both directions.
The full-scale service strengthens trade links between South America and Europe, enhancing logistics solutions for a range of industries. With Georgetown’s strategic location, the route is expected to support various sectors, including agriculture, mining, and infrastructure, by streamlining supply chains and improving delivery timelines.
The development wasn’t a solo effort. According to Air France KLM Martinair Cargo, the achievement resulted from close coordination with the Government of Guyana, the Civil Aviation Authority, and key airport entities. The carrier also acknowledged the role of Total Air Cargo Sales & Handling Agents Inc., whose handling operations on the ground contribute to safe and reliable cargo processing.
The twice-weekly service marks a clear commitment to the Guyanese market. As air freight continues to evolve, bellyhold capacity on passenger aircraft like KLM’s offers a cost-effective and timely alternative to traditional freighters, particularly for time-sensitive shipments.
By officially opening up this cargo corridor, Air France KLM provides South American exporters with direct access to European markets and vice versa—without routing delays or transshipment complexities. For logistics professionals operating in or around Guyana, this new route adds another tool in the supply chain toolkit.
