Shipping giant Maersk launches new air cargo business

Shipping giant AP Moller Maersk has launched its new air cargo business as it looks to meet customer demand for supply chain security. The company said that its new Maersk Air Cargo business will be operational in the second half of the year and will utilise Denmark’s Billund Airport as its main hub and offer daily flights. The new airfreight company is the result of the existing in-house aircraft operator, Star Air, transferring its activities into Maersk Air Cargo.
