French logistics company SDV signed two new deals at the recent Paris Airshow, one a new contract and the other a co-operation agreement.
The first deal sees SDV selected as the logistics provider for the transport of aircraft seats produced by Expliseat for Air Tahiti.
SDV has been handling Air Tahiti’s shipments from multiple locations worldwide for the past 20 years and is also the logistics provider of Expliseat.
The logistics firm also signed a memorandum of understanding with China's AVIC International Logistics to strengthen their co-operation by sharing their respective networks and services.
SDV said: “The purpose of this protocol is to define the general terms and conditions of [our] future commercial relationships such as common bonded warehouse implementation, support of AVIC in customs clearance in certain gateways in China, and the use of AVIC Logistics’ domestic trucking network to better serve SDV’s customers from the aeronautics sector.
“Subsequently, AVIC considers SDV as its preferred logistics provider for international air/ocean freight between the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)/Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).”
