DB Schenker charters PVG shuttle service
After combining efforts through three flights carrying medical equipment from China to Iceland, Icelandair Group and DB Schenker have signed an agreement regarding 45 cargo flights between Shanghai PVG and Munich.
Three redesigned B767 with removed seats have already started service last week-end and will secure up to 12 flights per week until the end of May. The financial amount of the agreement, which allows DB Schenker to display its logo on an aircraft for the first time, is confidential.
Icelandair Cargo and the aircraft leasing and consulting business Loftleidir Icelandic manage the preparation and execution of the flights. Additional twice-weekly flights from China to Chicago, USA, via Iceland are also part of the agreement that extends the freight forwarder's global network. (ah)
