Before North American initiated non-stop service to Ghana, the only option for customers was a lengthy connection via a European hub. Our non-stop service has reduced the journey time to this part of West Africa by a minimum of eight hours. Our customers have been extremely supportive of North American Airlines as the only U.S. airline to fly scheduled service to Africa. |
Both World Airways DC-10 freighters are now under contract at least through the middle of 2006. This agreement has an estimated value of $3 million. |
Our customers have been asking for increased service to Ghana and the addition of a Business Class cabin. We are pleased to be able to meet their needs. |
We continue to see high demand for international cargo capacity and we want to ensure that we have the aircraft to meet that demand long-term. |
World Airways will operate five international round trips a week under the contract, which has an estimated value of $11 million. |
