MAERSK Air Cargo is suspending freighter service between Shenyang, north east of the Bo Hai Gulf and Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina, so that the aircraft can be reassigned to a new route from Zhengzhou, Henan, province to Rockford near Chicago, reported New York's FreightWaves. The new service is to be available three times per week, with a refuelling stop at Anchorage. Maersk Air Cargo's evolution toward a midmarket scheduled cargo carrier will take another step through the introduction of the company's first-ever Boeing 777 freighter in the third quarter.
Officials previously confided that the two 777s on order from Boeing will be flown by the company's own pilots and based in Billund, Denmark.
The Denmark-based company entered the US air cargo market in October 2022 as part of a strategy to evolve into an integrated, multimodal logistics service provider and has since expanded to nine flights per week.
Maersk owns the Boeing 767 aircraft but outsources their operation to Miami-based Amerijet International. Six of the flights move between, Rockford, Illinois, and Hangzhou, China, on the central China coast near Shanghai, with stops each way at Seoul's Incheon airport.
