ACN Interview: Regulatory headache for European road feeder operators

ACN Inter­view: Regula­tory head­ache for Euro­pean road feeder opera­tors

26.06.2017

An interview with Jason Breakwell, our Commercial Director. One of this week’s Air Cargo News top stories “Regulatory headache for European road feeder operators”

Luxembourg, 26.06.2017

European Commission regulations on drivers’ pay and rest breaks are causing significant cost and network capacity problems for air cargo’s road feeder services (RFS) sector, say two major truck operators.

The regulations mean that drivers resting overnight in certain European Union (EU) countries have to stay in a hotel rather than sleep in their cab, the industry norm for decades. The other regulation requires drivers to be paid the minimum wage for each country where they pick up or drop off a load, although transit road haulage is not affected.

Luxembourg-headquartered Wallenborn and Jan de Rijk of the Netherlands do not oppose the principle of minimum wages and hotel accommodation, but the RFS providers say that the rules should be applied equally throughout the EU, not country by country, and that the wage regulations add complexity and burden at a time when Europe faces a driver shortage.

Wallenborn opens in Liège

Wallenborn grows together with its clients.

Luxembourg, 27.03.2017

Our values define who we are and form the foundation of our culture. They are shared by everyone across all levels of the organization. They guide our actions and behaviour, and influence the way we work with each other and the way we serve our customers. The first of our five core values is Customer focus, which means that our goals are aligned with our clients’ goals. It is for this reason that Wallenborn has just opened an office in Liège. 

Frantz Wallenborn says: “As we develop our relationships with clients, we notice a growing need to have a presence in Liège itself. So much traffic flows through Belgium and it was important to our clients that we have the capability to offer greater support on site. In the short time we have been in Liège, we have already seen a further increase in demand for our services there.”


Wallenborn welcomes Donald Schaap who has joined to start up the Liège office. Donald brings with him 14 years of experience in air cargo logistics, coupled with a passion for new challenges, providing excellent customer care, and growing the business. A Belgian national, at the age of 16 he was first exposed to air cargo RFS planning at Brucargo Express NV. Although he chose to then study informatics and accounting, Donald remained fascinated by logistics. So, in 2003 he started at H.Essers as a dispatcher, and quickly progressed up the ranks to team leader planning, operations manager, project & business development. He also spent several years at J.Van Roosbroeck, a regional transport company. 

Donald says: “Most members of my family worked in the air cargo business, so in some way I guess my fate was pre-determined. Still, after all these years I am loving the industry and am especially excited about this newly accepted challenge.”

If you are in the area and/or would like to learn more about how we can support you in Liège, please contact Donald via the information below, or simply pop into the office to say hello.

Made in Luxembourg

Wallenborn acquires the “Made in Luxembourg” label.

Luxembourg, 23.03.2017

The label « Made in Luxembourg » is a brand initiated in 1984 by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Skilled Trades and Crafts. Its aim is to establish the Luxembourgish origin of products and services.

Wallenborn is a company with many decades of history in Luxembourg, so we felt it only appropriate to finally carry the “Made in Luxembourg” label.

Knowing how to differentiate products and services for customers is crucial in order to stand out not only on foreign markets, but also on national ones. At Wallenborn we are always looking for new ways to differentiate ourself and we are strongly committed to quality at all times. As such, we hope our clients consider the “Made in Luxembourg” certification an additional quality assurance.
