Strengthening USA-Asia trade
DHL Express commenced services for the final Boeing 777 freighter deployed at the South Asia hub in Singapore last month. With a payload capability of 102 t, the aircraft joined the four other Boeing 777 freighters already deployed in Singapore to boost inter-continental connectivity between Asia Pacific and the Americas.
Sporting a dual DHL-Singapore Airlines (SIA) livery, these five freighters provide a total of 1,224 t of payload capacity to meet growing customer demand for international express shipping services. All five freighters operate twelve flights each week.
Since December 2023, three Boeing 777 freighters ply the Singapore-Bangkok/Taipei-Incheon/Nagoya-Cincinnatti-Honolulu-Sydney-Singapore route seven times a week. The other two cover the Singapore-Nagoya-Los Angeles-Honolulu-Singapore route five times a week. (cj)
