“Western Sydney International is a transformational piece of infrastructure for Australian air cargo that will enable consistent, reliable 24-hour operations, and Texel Air is well positioned to support it by providing flexible, aircraft-on-demand capacity that complements existing freight networks and strengthens overall supply chain resilience,” said founder and chairman, John Chisholm.
WSI is expected to be a major advancement and advantage for Sydney’s travel industry, with 24 services offering a range of flexibility for customers and businesses.
The cargo precinct within the airport will also be operating around the clock, which Texel says will allow them to provide their services efficiently and effectively.
“We’ll be able to respond quickly to customer demand, regular freight flows, and time-critical shipments, which is exactly what a 24-hour cargo precinct enables,” said Chisholm.
“WSI also gives Texel Air a platform to scale charter and scheduled support services in and out of Sydney with far greater efficiency than legacy airports.”
Simon Hickey, WSI CEO, says that this latest deal will significantly increase cargo capacity whilst creating a range of new employment opportunities for the local community.
“Both exporters and importers will benefit from our integrated Cargo Precinct’s 24 -hour capacity, dedicated access via the recently upgraded Northern Road, and proximity to key freight and logistics hubs in Kemps Creek and developing industrial sites across the Aerotropolis,” said Hickey.
“Texel Air’s fleet of Boeing 737-800BCFs is well positioned to support those customers – thereby strengthening services for its anchor domestic partners that move freight around the nation each week while offering international charter capability to help dr ive more access to lucrative global markets.”
Texel Air will join Qantas Freight, Menzies Aviation, and dnata Cargo as an operator within the cargo terminal.
