Building an air bridge between the Americas and China
Because the new coronavirus situation is so volatile, capacity planning is becoming a real challenge. Now Dachser Air & Sea Logistics is adding to its existing charter service between Frankfurt and China: starting today, 16 March 2020, the Germany-based freight forwarder will offer an air bridge between the US, Latin America, and the air freight gateway in Frankfurt for deliveries to Shanghai. Dachser will charter B747s and integrate them into the rotation of flights from Frankfurt to Shanghai and vice versa.
Timo Stroh, head of global air freight: "This programme puts us in a position to offer a robust and reliable premium air service to Asia for our customers in the Americas as well. We [...] fully appreciate being in a position to tackle the challenges of the future today." (ah)
