DB Schenker offers charter flights between Europe and South America

DB Schenker is offering additional charter capacities across the Atlantic starting this week. The flights of the new connection depart from the Netherlands and reach Brazil after two stopovers in the USA. In Latin America, there are then direct connections to Argentina and Chile. The weekly cargo flight provides an additional capacity of 50 tons.

(Essen) Thorsten Meincke, Board Member for Air and Sea Freight at DB Schenker: “Companies need stable supply chains to keep the economy running. By expanding our network of charter flights to South America, we are bringing new reliable capacities to the market. We are already seeing high demand.”

Departure every Sunday evening from Amsterdam

Every Sunday evening, the cargo flight departs from Amsterdam (AMS), makes stopovers in New York City (JFK) and Miami (MIA) on Mondays, before reaching Viracopos (VCP) near São Paulo on the same day. From there, there is a direct connection to Buenos Aires (EZP) on Tuesdays and to Santiago de Chile (SCL) on Wednesdays. The new transatlantic connection is operated with Boeing 767 freighters. The stopover of the charter flight in Miami allows Schenker customers access to numerous other destinations of the operating airline.

Registrations already for the first flights

Numerous different goods have already been registered for the first flights, including many supplier products for the automotive industry. Temperature-sensitive goods as well as hazardous materials can also be transported upon request. Within Europe, the flights seamlessly connect to DB Schenker’s land transport network.
