DSV has added Shanghai Pudong to its B747F Globetrotter air cargo charter service after initially avoiding the airport because of congestion at the facility. It would operate a flight once a week between Istanbul, which connects with Liege, and the Chinese airport.
“We have added an additional stop to the route in PVG as the airport’s ground handling operations are improving after recent Covid-19 outbreaks,” DSV said.
The service will also continue to call at CGO, while offering links across the Atlantic to Chicago Rockford and Viracopos. DSV has run a temporary charter operation in the past, but the Globetrotter service is by Turkey-based ACT Airlines under a year-long contract.
