MAERSK Air Cargo will resume freighter service from China to its South Carolina hub at the start of the new year but will originate from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP), New York's FreightWaves has learned.
The program will entail three flights per week, as was previously the case, utilizing a Boeing 767-300 cargo jet, but will connect GSP with Zhengzhou instead of Shenyang.
The all-cargo operator also plans to deploy its second Boeing 777 freighter aircraft by early 2025.
maersk Air Cargo temporarily suspended scheduled flights from Shenyang, China, to Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) via Seoul, South Korea, on June 1 so the Boeing 767-300 aircraft could be used to launch a route connecting Chicago-Rockford International Airport with Zhengzhou, China.
Maersk said at the time it intended to restart its Asia-South Carolina service in August.
Maersk Air Cargo is making final preparations to relaunch service between China and GSP on January 1.
Maersk outsources flying of its 767 freighters operating from Asia to the United States to Miami-based Amerijet.
Meanwhile, a Boeing 747-400 freighter that Maersk Air Cargo charters from Magma Aviation, this month has begun flying a new route with a rotation of Liege, Belgium; Chicago-Rockford; Halifax, Canada; Liege. The Magma aircraft continues to operate regularly between Frankfurt, Germany, and Chicago-Rockford.
