Dachser’s weekly air charter from Hong Kong to Frankfurt will now become a year-round service.
“At the end of last year, the effect of increased e-commerce became especially evident in the load factors and intensified the shortfall in capacity,” said Timo Stroh, Head of Global Air Freight at Dachser.
“And we’ll see this happen again with the usual increase in freight volumes in the run-up to the Chinese New Year in February. Our dedicated own Dachser air network capacity provides our customers with security and makes us less vulnerable to the fallout from volatile market events.”
Apart from the Hong Kong-to-Frankfurt connection, the company also offers the same charter service for the Frankfurt-to-Chicago route and return.
“With this global network capability, we can offer our customers a robust and reliable capacity solution,” Stroh added.
An expansion of the Dachser air network is planned for the second quarter, so the logistics service provider will be well prepared to handle the uncertain market environment in 2021.
