CoDC-Kenavt service opened.

CoDC-Lamoni service opened.

OOC: This is like any other civilian company thread; post how often Cathay Cargo is used by your nation's people to ship freight. However, it's also usable for governments, if they want to use a civilian company.

The Republic Of Madurastan Goverment wishes to use Cathay Cargo for its weekly transport from Liberty City International Airport to Thive City Airport carrying crates of food and medical supplies to the Madurastan garrison currently based there distributing humanitarian aid after a conflict.

This is a non-hostile zone so the aircraft will not be in danger.

Re: Proposed contract

We will ship at our standard rate, and will use our Be-23 heavy transports, which can carry up to 270 tonnes of cargo. Since the cargo is humanitarian aid, we will discount the costs to $20000/tonne.
Also, we would like to open up standard cargo service to Madurastan, and would like to purchase two hangars in Thive City Airport and Liberty City International Airport. Would this be possible? How much would it cost?

You can but hangers at Liberty City Airport. They will cost $2000 a hangar and each hangar comes with a Large fuel storage tank and 2 fuel trucks that can have your insignia on them. Is this ok?

Re: LC International Airport

Excellent! The funds are being wired immediately.
On another note, how many tonnes of aid will we be shipping per week? Also, how far apart are Thive City Airport and Liberty City International Airport?
Finally, when will Thive City Airport be open for civilian, non-aid cargo shipments?

DC Enquirer
Cathay Cargo, in surprise move, selects Allanean Arms Vehicles as one of its preferred auto suppliers! According to a statement released by the Cathay Cargo Board, "AAV has a good variety of vehicles and quality service."
Hyundai CEO Chung Mong-Koo said, "We're pleased to be chosen alongside AAV. Our product lines are fairly complementary: while AAV sells mainly trucks, SUVs and vans, we focus more on sedans, coupes, and other smaller-sized vehicles."
...The Cathay Cargo Board, in a press release, estimated sales of 200 pickups, 660 DAAs, 90 SUV-trucks, 185 SUVs, 320 mini-SUVs, 12 supercars, 800 motorcycles, 145 utility trucks, and 175 vans per year for AAV.
...Additionally, CC-R took in its new HH-20 (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12990809&postcount=113) tiltrotor transports, allowing for greatly expanded service. These can carry 18.8 tonnes of cargo up to 1600km.

Service opened in Endenia Restos! International freight is routed through Endenia Prime airport, while freight in Endenia Restos proper is routed through various regional airports.

The shipments are 150 Tonnes per week. Thive City Airport is 500 Miles away from Liberty City. We have no idea yet about non-aid shipments because rebuilding is underway on the airport concourse and a 2nd runway is being built. We may need your services to help transport building materials at a later date. $3000 will be wired each week to cover the costs of each journey.

$3003000/week ($3000 for fuel/expenses, $20000*150 tonnes of humanitarian aid).
Random inspections of aid packages will be carried out, to guarantee that we are shipping humanitarian aid; this is standard practice.
For no additional charge, we will deliver the humanitarian aid we ship to Thive City Airport out to other points in Thive, using the trucks of CCG.

Re: Delivery

How many tonnes will you be shipping?

OOC - see other thread; you may want to reconsider your purchase. The UAM-97 is a short-range missile, meant to take out ASW helicopters or coastal targets that aren't worth a torpedo. It's not worth using for a destroyer.
