"The professional efforts of Air Logistics Group will serve as the basis for our expanded sales presence in India and the Middle East," says Kay Kratky, CEO of Jade Cargo. "During the past months our flight operations at Chennai, India and Sharjah, U.A.E have been well received by our customers. Now it is time to move forward with development of those markets."
