DACHSER launches weekly charters from Hong Kong to Frankfurt
DACHSER launches weekly charters from Hong Kong to Frankfurt
In response to the autumn peak season and capacity shortages brought on by the coronavirus crisis, DACHSER is expanding its premium charter program to include the Hong Kong–Frankfurt route starting at the beginning of September. The company also recently added the Frankfurt–Chicago route at the end of July. Similar to the transatlantic service, a specially chartered freighter now flies weekly from Hong Kong to Frankfurt. It is currently scheduled to operate until the end of the year.
We’re seeing the Asian market pick up pace again and the rate level is rising, so there is less capacity available on the market. With this service, we’re responding to these conditions and offering our customers a robust and reliable premium air service between Hong Kong and Europe.
