Air France-KLM Expands Winter Cargo Network With Cairo Freighter Route

Air France-KLM Martinair Cargo will operate 14 dedicated freighter destinations and serve 112 cities via its passenger network during the 2026-27 winter season. The season runs from October 25 through March 27. The carrier is launching a new thrice-weekly Boeing 777F freighter service to Cairo, addressing demand during the peak winter shipping period. Additional capacity additions include widebody bellyhold connections to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and Malé in the Maldives, along with a shift of Air France's twice-weekly 777F India service from Mumbai to Navi Mumbai International Airport. Services from Amsterdam to Seoul will increase to three weekly flights, combining direct and Hong Kong-routed options. The Franco-Dutch carrier will restore seasonal service to Ottawa and Barbados. Executive vice president cargo Pierre-Olivier Bandet highlighted the combination of dedicated maindeck and widebody capacity serving peak demand periods including year-end and Valentine's Day flower shipments.
