Apex and Asiana arrive at Columbus Rickenbacker
On 24 August 2019, the South Korean airline Asiana Cargo completed its inaugural scheduled B747F flight between Wuhan (China) and Rickenbacker International Airport (LCK) marking its entry into Columbus (OH, USA), for both the airline and APEX Logistics.
"We have a long-term vision to grow and connect Asia directly to the Midwest US market through Rickenbacker and Chicago International Airport," said Elsie Qian, CEO Americas at the freight-forwarder, which was founded in China with a global reach. Asiana Cargo kicked off weekly scheduled flights carrying freight between LCK and the airline’s global hub Seoul Incheon in South Korea.
Asiana joins AirBridgeCargo, Cargolux, Cathay Pacific Cargo, China Airlines Cargo, Emirates SkyCargo and Etihad Cargo to operate up to 20 scheduled weekly international flights at LCK. (ah)
