Silverline LandFlight has added to its long list of international airline clients with US Airways who have signed a two year contract with the company.

US Airways, which launched its new operation in May to fly between Birmingham and Philadelphia five days a week, has joined Continental Airlines and a host of other international carriers, including Pakistan International Airlines, Lufthansa and Emirates in the Silverline LandFlight stable.

Silverline LandFlight will be responsible for transporting the flight deck and cabin crews between Birmingham International airport and local hotels.

Malcolm Breakwell, chairman and managing director of Silverline LandFlight said “As well as serving the needs of many business and private clients we have also been servicing the airline industry for over thirty years and our experience in this field has made us somewhat of an airline specialist. It’s very pleasing that US Airways have recognized our expertise in this specialist market and chosen us for its new operation to Birmingham airport.”

“its worth giving you some feedback following our customer visit yesterday here at Bristol. We had a preference for Silverline…  the drivers were pleasant, polite, professional and helpful. I’ve no doubt that we will be requiring their services in the future.”

Pakistan’s flagship national airline PIA has signed a two year contract with Silverline LandFlight.

The Midlands based travel service company is now responsible for ferrying PIA cabin crew and flight deck personnel between Birmingham International airport and city hotels.

Silverline LandFlight’s business development director Danny Matthews said “We had to act quickly to accommodate PIA requirements when they asked us to start the service the following day, but of course we were delighted to say ‘yes’.”

PIA’s Birmingham manager Ishtiaq Shah said “Silverline LandFlight came well recommended. With an increase in our scheduled flights into Birmingham it was important we felt happy and confident that our staff were in the best hands. The reliability and flexibility of our ground transport provider is of utmost importance, as crew arriving late at an airport could cause a delay for our passengers, and that is not acceptable. We are confident that Silverline LandFlight is able to provide the high level of service that we require.”
