GERMAN forwarding giant Dachser Air & Sea Logistics is expanding its premium charter programme to include the Hong Kong-Frankfurt route which started earlier this month in response to the autumn peak season and capacity shortages brought on by the coronavirus crisis.
The company added the Frankfurt-Chicago route at the end of July. 'Similar to the transatlantic service, a specially chartered freighter now flies weekly from Hong Kong to Frankfurt. It is currently scheduled to operate until the end of the year.'
Head of global air freight at Dachser, Timo Stroh, said: 'We're seeing the Asian market pick up pace again and the rate level is rising, so there is less capacity available on the market. With this service, we're responding to these conditions and offering our customers a robust and reliable premium air service between Hong Kong and Europe.'
The company explained that once the goods arrive at Frankfurt by Dachser Air & Sea Logistics' dedicated charter, the relay baton is then passed to Dachser European Logistics for local distribution. The goods are delivered from Frankfurt throughout the European continent with fixed transit times and high quality standards.
'By linking the Dachser European Logistics network with the dedicated services of Dachser Air & Sea Logistics, we create intelligent solutions for our customers' transport needs, even under challenging market conditions,' says Alexander Tonn, managing director European Logistics Germany, who oversees Dachser's industrial goods business within Germany.
