Coyne expands service to Georgia

Coyne expands service to Georgia    Coyne Airways said it is adding a second weekly Boeing 747-400 freighter service to its hub in Tbilisi, Georgia, effective July 1.
   In addition to its existing flight every Monday from London Stansted and Cologne to Tbilisi, Coyne has signed an agreement with Jade Cargo for further B747-400 capacity each Wednesday from Frankfurt to the Georgian capital.
   Coyne launched its first B747F service to Tbilisi in December 2006. From its Tbilisi hub, Coyne operates regional all-cargo flights to Aktau, Atyrau and Uralsk in Kazakhstan, as well as truck services to Baku in Azerbaijan and Yerevan in Armenia. Its Caspian network has increased further with new services from Tbilisi to Ashgabat and Turkmenbashi in Turkmenistan. Other destinations in the Caspian region are served on request.
   “Operating from Frankfurt allows quicker connections from Coyne Airways' interline partners flying from North America so that cargo leaving the USA for Frankfurt on Tuesday evening can connect with our next day departure to Tbilisi,” said Larry Coyne, Coyne Airways chief executive officer.
   As well as oil and gas equipment for exploration, Coyne regularly transports basic products and personal effects needed to support the large international teams working in the region.
