SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS – Mexpress Transportation, Inc. a road feeder air cargo company, will commence service from Port San Antonio (SKF) to airports in Monterrey (MTY), Guadalajara (GDL), and Mexico City (MEX) in June, 2009. At this time service is scheduled to run three times a week catering to air cargo shippers and receivers. The service will also cater to small and medium size companies shipping less than a trailer load.
Operational Technologies (OpTech), who is the current foreign trade zone operator at the Port, will host the service for Mexpress who has appointed LOGITEX USA, as its sales agent.
