We always endeavour to react actively to changing trends and the market environment by expanding or adjusting available PEKAES services to cater for the business needs of our customers. And that is how the need to commence daily transport runs to Ukraine came to pass”, says Maciej Bachman, PEKAES President of the Management Board.

Further general cargo connections in Europe are in the pipeline”, adds Marek Tkaczyk, PEKAES International Network Director.
