MEXPRESS TO COMMENCE SERVICE FROM PORT SAN ANTONIO

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. An added value to this operation will be the availability of Mexico customs clearance at the designated Mexico airports as well as Port San Antonio.

Those involved with this operation foresee this service eventually connecting to other markets in Mexico and Central America while acting as a feeder to and from Asia through international air cargo hubs. “We are opening new trade horizons in dealing with Port San Antonio.” Remarked Carlos Duron, President of Mexpress Transportation, Inc.

“We look forward to working for Mexpress” said Javier Smith, President LOGITEX, USA. “The Market seems to be reacting favorably to this service.”

Jorge Canavati, Vice President of Business Development for Port San Antonio, says that this service will be a valued asset to those businesses who put it to use. “This service will be very important to companies in need of air cargo transport between our region and the strategic cargo centers in Mexico. At the same time it is an efficient tool for small and medium sized companies that need to ship a pallet or two at a time”.
