Amerijet International, Inc. has announced a three times a week flight from Managua to Miami from Tuesday through its Vice President of Business Development, Pamela Rollins.
"We are pleased to introduce this new service between the U.S. and Nicaragua, which is a great addition to our current activities in Central America, where we operate cargo flights to and from El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico and Belize", Rollins said, according to an article on airlinesdestinations.com.
The air transport company has increased by 50% its cargo flight capacity to 19 weekly flights.
Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama are three of the countries which receive large capacity UPS flights from Miami. UPS has decided to expand in response to increased demand experienced in Latin America.
The firm will use its Boeing 757 cargo plane, which will be replaced by a new B-767 aircraft, which is larger and hence has more capacity.
