DHL bolsters capacity between US, Japan

DHL Express has introduced a new route between Chubu (Nagoya) and Cincinnati in the United States. The new route is being operated by DHL Air UK and has been added in response to the increasing international shipping needs between Japan and the US. Currently, traveling three times a week, the dedicated B777F will increase its frequency to six times a week starting from 6 September 2022. This route also offers up to 102 tonne of additional capacity per flight. It will serve Trans Pacific customers along with the current five-weekly B747F flights by Polar Air Cargo Worldwide and five-weekly B777F flights by Kalitta Air, stated a release. Tony Khan, President and Representative Director, DHL Express Japan said, “The capacity expansion is in response to growth in global shipping demand from customers engaged in trade between Asia and the US, especially on routes between Japan and the US. The addition of this new route enables us to support the development of our Japanese customers’ business in the US.”
