Flight added to Frankfurt-Chicago schedule to meet increased demand
Dachser USA is expanding its dedicated Frankfurt-Chicago air cargo service with a second flight scheduled for the weekday to complement the current weekend schedule.
The new route will be operated by American Airlines with B777 / PAX freighters and will run every Wednesday from Frankfurt to Chicago. This additional dedicated air freight option will allow for more transit choices as Dachser’s extensive network continues to expand, innovate and deliver for its customers.
The freight forwarder is responding to increased demand for air freight transport options out of Europe,
Dachser USA has been operating a dedicated Frankfurt-Chicago-Frankfurt air cargo service since end of July last year when demand for air transport began to increase due to pandemic-related supply chain disruption.
Said Andy Frommenwiler, Vice President, Air Freight, Dachser USA: “Many of our customers are shifting some of their shipments to air freight transport because of the uncertainty surrounding ocean transport right now.
“As volumes increase, our recently launched dedicated Frankfurt-Chicago air freight service continues to attract clients and is now operating at full capacity. In order to serve the growing demand for reliable and predictable service levels, we launched our new weekday service, which is already drawing new customers.”
Dachser USA’s expanded dedicated flight service connects its US customers to the entire European market through its comprehensive land transport network from Frankfurt.
ThroughDachser’s road transport network, the service connects 37 European countries such as Germany, Austria, Benelux, Switzerland, Spain, France, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia.
For European customers, Dachser USA’s dedicated trucking service in the US enables door-to-door deliveries within the 48 contiguous states.
