Improving connectivity between Oceania and Asia
Global express service provider DHL Express has introduced a dedicated flight between Hong Kong and Sydney, Australia. The direct flight replaces the current Hong Kong-Singapore-Sydney route to meet the rise in shipment volume between Hong Kong and Australia. Departing from DHL’s Central Asia hub in Hong Kong, the aircraft leaves for Sydney Airport five times a week.
Supplied by Kalitta Air, the Boeing 777-200 is wet leased into Tasman Cargo Airlines which operates the flight. The freighter offers a maximum capacity of 105 t, raising customers' weekly total payload by over 500 t.
The dedicated flight from Sydney offers next-day delivery services to Mainland China, India, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam, upon shipment arrival in Hong Kong. (cj)
