Atlantic Container Line

Forms Air Charter

Brokerage Firm

AOL Air Cargo Ltd., a new air charter brokerage firm, has been formed as a subsidiary of Atlantic

Container Line, Ltd., New York, to meet the shipper's increasing demand for a total transport serv- ice.

O.I.M. Porton, president, Atlantic

Container Line, U.S., described the subsidiary as "a natural develop- ment of ACL's transportation phi- losophy and an extension of the company's operations on the North

Atlantic, where thorough knowl- edge of cargo flow patterns, ship- pers' requirements and commodity characteristics has been gained."

Mr. Porton pointed out that ACL is not entering the freight forward- ing business with the new venture. "We aim to provide an additional service for shippers and forward- ers who normally use sea carriers but require air transportation from time to time," he said.

The new company will act as a broker between airlines and ACL general agents, who will have the responsibility for marketing and customer contact, according to Mr.

Porton.

It is expected that the bulk of traffic will be trans-Atlantic, al- though charters will not be limited to that market. ACL general agents

PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE have been actively engaged in the development of air charter services.

Key sales and other personnel have been specially trained in air freight operations, and charter flights have been negotiated for operation be- tween Stanstead, England, and Te- heran, Iran. This facet of ACL's developing interests will now be di- rected by the new subsidiary.

In the fall of 1972, ACL and

American Airlines introduced a through-service called Sea Jet One, providing an in-transit time of less than 10 days for cargo shipped from Europe to the western United

States. The largest carrier on the

North Atlantic, ACL operates 10 containerships with roll-on/roll-off capability in maintaining direct service between five North Ameri- can and eight European ports.
