Starting in mid-October, logistics service provider Dachser is increasing its network capacities by adding peak season charters to connect Asia and Europe

HONG KONG, CHINA – Media

– 15 October 2020 – While
production is gradually recovering, cargo space is still limited owing to the
reduced number of passenger flights. In light of this situation, Dachser Air & Sea Logistics is launching
seasonal charters to cope with the expected high demand in the fourth quarter
of the year.

DACHSER is again
offering a dedicated premium charter program this fall.

“The market in Asia has now picked up speed again with
production ramping up, and we are seeing increasing tonnages for export. With
passenger flights not likely to resume to pre-Corona level, we can expect a
lively peak season this year,” said Edoardo Podestà, COO Air & Sea
Logistics explained the situation. “Additional capacities have been created for
this purpose.”

From mid-October until the end of the year, a Boeing 747-400
will be flying once a week as a full charter between Frankfurt and Shanghai. Dachser
is also handling Europe-wide distribution with its own Road network via the
Frankfurt Import Gateway.

Premium product under
current market conditions

Dachser has been offering this peak season charter for the
third consecutive year. Fixed transit times make the service reliable and
enable customers to plan ahead.

With the seamless integration of its road and air &
sea logistics networks, Dachser is able to respond quickly to changing route
situations in Europe and accelerate the pickup and delivery processes.

“At Dachser we have a strong global network capability, so
we are well prepared for the ‘new normal’ and offer our customers a reliable
solution in volatile market conditions,” Podestà summed up.

The logistics provider is at the same time running weekly
charters for the Hong Kong-Frankfurt route and the Transatlantic
Frankfurt-Chicago rotation service.
