Dachser expands its charter program between Europe and Asia

Dachser responds to the severe shortage of air cargo capacity that the coronavirus crisis is causing, expanding its Premium program of charter flights, with the aforementioned Hong Kong-Frankfurt route. The logistics operator also recently added the Frankfurt-Chicago route at the end of July. This new route to Asia has charter cargo planes that fly weekly between Hong Kong and Germany. These charter flights, which began operating in early September, are currently scheduled to operate until the end of the year.

"We are seeing the Asian market picking up pace again and the rate level is increasing, so there is less capacity available in the market," explains Timo Stroh, Head of Global Air Freight at Dachser. "With this service, we are responding to this reality by offering our customers an efficient and reliable Premium air service between Hong Kong and Europe.", Concludes the manager.
