FRENCH logistics provider geodis is extending its AirDirect service with the addition of a twice weekly flight routed London Stansted (STN)/Amsterdam (AMS)/ Hong Kong (HKG)/STN/AMS.
With the new schedule coming into effect from October, Geodis' APAC customers will have access to almost 80 per cent of European destinations within 24 hours. This new investment underscores the company's enhanced focus on the APAC region and its commitment to serve a greater range of business verticals in Asian markets.
The company will in part use its new A330-300 full freighter aircraft to operate this rotation between Europe and Asia.
The new route launch comes on the heels of the introduction of Geodis' Shanghai to Guadalajara flight in March this year, which has improved cargo connectivity to the west coast of the Americas. Geodis also continues with its dedicated service from Hong Kong to Guadalajara.
The new flight will also help expand Geodis' operations in Asia with increased connectivity, aiming to build on its existing customer base consisting of pharmaceutical, high tech, and retail clients. The new service will offer all the existing AirDirect options of AirFast, AirFlex, and AirSave services with much needed guaranteed capacity.
'The strength of our network in Europe plays a critical role in driving our growth in APAC. Opening up new and in-demand routes to better address our customers' needs is a pivotal element of our aim to increase our footprint in growth markets,' said Geodis Asia Pacific chief Onno Boots.
'Our business in APAC has seen steady and significant growth over the past few years and therefore we want to add more routes into our current network.'
