DSV has introduced three intercontinental routes connecting five continents to serve customer demand in the global airfreight market.
The three new air charter routes are: Luxembourg– Guarulhos (São Paulo), Chicago Rockford Airport–Shanghai and Luxembourg–Johannesburg.
“We know a lot of customers struggle with a tremendous amount of uncertainty and a general lack of capacity. Therefore, it is imperative for us to continue to provide new solutions to mitigate the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic for them,” said Mads Ravn, head of global air freight procurement at DSV.
“We see cargo congestion at both sea ports and airports around the world, hence it’s crucial that we seek to find alternative solutions. I am very pleased that we keep expanding our international air charter services.
“The aim is to offer more flexibility and security of cargo freight which is crucial and sought after by our many customers.”
The DSV Air Charter Network is managed as a fully in-house DSV network and includes road freight to and from the airport, document handling, freight handling and planning for loading air freight units (ULDs).
The in-house control of the complete process makes the air charter network highly flexible and efficient for customers.
The three new air charter routes are:
Luxembourg – Sao Paulo, Brazil: Started Febuary 21st 2021. A weekly direct route from Luxembourg to Guarulhos (São Paulo) with 100 tons of capacity between Europe and Brazil.
Luxembourg – Johannesburg (roundtrip), South Africa: Starting April 1st 2021. Four weekly direct rotations with a combined 150 tons of capacity connecting two DSV hotspots in Europe and South Africa.
