[E-commerce boom fuels air cargo demand in Asia] => ECブームが牽引するアジアの航空貨物需要
[Air cargo demand has reached an all-time high since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, driven largely by an unprecedented growth in e-commerce.] => アジアの航空貨物市場は、かつてないほどの急激なECの成長に引っ張られて、新型コロナウイルスのパンデミック発生以降、その需要は史上最高に達しています。
[Easing the air freight capacity crunch
For DHL Express, the stakes are high in fulfilling the needs of customers, who now have heightened expectations for reliable, quick, and timely deliveries.
“The burgeoning population of e-commerce users will continue to demand higher efficiency and delivery speed from supply chains and airfreight transportation in the mid to long-term,” said Sean Wall, Executive Vice President, Network Operations & Aviation, DHL Express Asia Pacific.
Given that international air capacity remains limited in the region, DHL Express recently introduced new flights to cater to the high shipment volume demand and bolster its airfreight capacity within its Asia Pacific network.
Two new direct flight routes, operating from DHL Express’ Central Asia Hub in Hong Kong, will service the fast-growing markets of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, and Penang, Malaysia respectively.
Plying a Ho Chi Minh City-Hong Kong route six times a week, an Airbus A330 aircraft will offer air cargo load of up to 62 tons per flight, whilst an Airbus A300 aircraft with 54 tons of gross capacity will be dedicated to serve Penang at least five times a week. The added capacity will provide online businesses the opportunity to enhance their customer service and efficiency, as well as extend their reach across the region.
In its wider Asia Pacific network, DHL Express is also working with its partner airlines — Kalitta Air and AeroLogic — to expand its weekly airfreight capacity in the region by an additional 2,350 tons. The new services, powered by new Boeing 777 freighters, will address the increasing demand for international express deliveries, especially in the Oceania region.
Kalitta Air's service will operate five times a week from Cincinnati and the Los Angeles gateway to the DHL Express South Asia Hub in Singapore, via Sydney. From Singapore, the aircraft will make stops in Hong Kong and Anchorage, Alaska, before returning to Cincinnati. In addition, Kalitta Air will also manage a new flight route that plies between Singapore and Sydney six times a week.
The other aircraft — operated by AeroLogic, the joint venture cargo airline of DHL Express and Lufthansa Cargo — will fly six times a week from Leipzig to Hong Kong and Singapore before making a stop at Bahrain and returning to Leipzig.
“With the new routes, businesses and consumers from Australia and New Zealand can expect the transit time to improve for their shipments to and from the U.S. and Europe as they look to expand their global reach,” said Lee.
“Our investment in the new aircraft and dedicated flight routes with increased frequency demonstrates our confidence in the region’s growth trajectory and our commitment to facilitate the flourishing e-commerce sector.”] =>
航空貨物キャパシティの逼迫を緩和する
DHLエクスプレスにとって、信頼性が高く、迅速でタイムリーな配達への期待が高まっている顧客のニーズを満たすことが重要です。
DHLエクスプレスアジア太平洋地区ネットワークオペレーションおよびアビエーション担当エグゼクティブバイスプレジデントであるショーン ウォールは、「急増するECユーザーは、中長期的にはサプライチェーンや航空貨物輸送に対して、より高い効率性と配送スピードを求め続けるでしょう。」と述べています。
この地域の国際航空輸送能力は依然として限られていますが、DHLエクスプレスは最近、増大する貨物需要に対応すべく新規フライトを導入し、アジア太平洋地域のネットワークにおける航空貨物輸送能力を強化しました。
香港にあるDHLエクスプレスのセントラルアジアハブからは、成長著しいベトナムのホーチミンとマレーシアのペナンにそれぞれ直行便が就航します。
週6便のホーチミン-香港線では、エアバスA330型機で最大62トンの航空貨物を輸送し、週5便以上のペナン線では、エアバスA300型機（総重量54トン）で輸送します。これにより、オンライン事業者は、顧客サービスの向上と効率化を図ることができ、また、地域内での事業拡大を図ることができます。
また、DHLエクスプレスは、アジア太平洋地域のネットワークにおいて、パートナー航空会社であるカリッタエアおよびエアロ・ロジックと協力し、同地域における航空貨物の輸送能力を週2,350トン追加します。 この強化策では、ボーイング777型貨物機を活用し、特にオセアニア地域での国際エクスプレス輸送の需要増加に対応します。
カリッタエアのサービスは、シンシナティとロサンゼルスのゲートウェイから、シドニーを経由してシンガポールのDHLエクスプレス南アジアハブへ週5回運航します。シンガポールからは、香港とアラスカのアンカレッジに立ち寄り、シンシナティに戻る予定です。 また、カリッタエアは、シンガポールとシドニーを週6回結ぶ新路線も運航します
もう1機は、DHLエクスプレスとルフトハンザカーゴの合弁貨物航空会社、エアロ・ロジック社が運航するもので、ライプチヒから香港、シンガポールへ週6便を運航した後、バーレーンに立ち寄ってライプチヒに戻る予定です。
「今回の新路線開設により、オーストラリアやニュージーランドの企業や消費者の皆様は、グローバルな展開を目指す米国や欧州との貨物輸送時間の短縮が期待できます。」
「新しい航空機への投資とおよび専用路線の増便は、アジア太平洋地域の成長に対する私共の確信と、成長著しいECセクターの促進へのコミットメントを示すものです。」とリーは述べています。
[As passenger planes worldwide sit idle on the tarmac, cargo freighters have experienced a resurgence of sorts amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Travel bans have kept passenger aircraft on the ground, causing a shortage of belly space capacity that would otherwise be available for air freight shipments.
With little signs of cross-border travel resuming, demand for cargo space has remained strong and has consistently exceeded the available capacity — a phenomenon that is expected to last.
Data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) indicated that air cargo demand returned to pre-Covid levels in January this year for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. Volumes in February grew even further, returning to 2018 levels seen before the U.S.-China trade war.
In the pandemic’s early stages, essential cargo, such as medicine and personal protective equipment (PPE), and e-commerce shipments, dominated the available air cargo capacity. While the PPE demand has since stabilized with supply chains up and running, the e-commerce demand has not only stood firm, but has also seen a notable upswing.
“E-commerce has grown in popularity and familiarity among merchants and consumers in Asia since the Covid-19 pandemic. More small businesses are coming online to cater to a wider group of consumers, including new Internet users who have just hopped on the e-commerce bandwagon,” said Ken Lee, CEO, DHL Express Asia Pacific excluding China.
Consumer lifestyles shift amid Covid-19
Be it shopping online out of convenience, or due to the inability to shop at brick-and-mortar stores, many consumers have altered their habits and lifestyles to adapt and cope with pandemic-related lockdowns and restrictions.
This has supercharged the growth of e-commerce and accelerated a shift to an online lifestyle, which industry players have even described as “irreversible”.
[caption id="attachment_13665" align="alignnone" width="1280"] E-commerce is helping to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 for many small businesses who are now selling their goods in the global marketplace.[/caption]
Asia is taking center stage in driving e-commerce growth. In particular, Southeast Asia spearheads much of the development, boasting an e-commerce sector that is anticipated to grow by 23 percent to US$172 billion (€142 billion) by 2025.
Suppliers and businesses have been quick to notice the trend and have been actively finding ways to capitalize on the momentum. According to a 2020 study by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company, queries regarding online selling on the search engine skyrocketed last year, with Malaysia and Vietnam seeing a fivefold and sixfold jump respectively.
Reaping the benefits of the thriving e-commerce sector are the popular e-commerce marketplaces in the region such as Shopee, which saw its gross merchandise value jumping 74.3 percent to reach US$6.2 billion (€5.12 billion) in the first quarter last year.
With countries in varying stages of lockdown and recovery, the pandemic-induced boom in e-commerce is expected to last because of the sizable potential still untapped in the region, added Lee.
In 2020 alone, the number of new Internet users in Southeast Asia grew by 40 million, with 70 percent of the region’s total population now using digital services.] => 新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大が進むなか、世界中の旅客機が駐機場で待機状態になっている一方で、航空貨物機はある種の復活を果たしました。
渡航禁止令が出されたために旅客機は地上にとどまり、そのため航空貨物輸送に利用できるベリースペースが不足しました。
国境を越えた旅行が再開される兆候はほとんどないなかで、貨物スペースの需要は堅調で、常に利用可能なキャパシティを超えるほどの勢いがある状況は、今後も続くと予想されています。
国際航空運送協会（IATA）のデータによると、パンデミックの発生以降、今年1月に初めて、航空貨物需要が コロナ禍以前のレベル に戻ったことが示されています。 2月の取引量 はさらに増加し、米中貿易戦争前の2018年の水準に戻りました。
パンデミックの初期段階では、医薬品や個人用防護具（PPE）などの医療用物資、およびEC関連の出荷が、航空貨物のキャパシティの大部分を占めていました。その後、医療用個人用防護具の需要は落ち着きましたが、企業のサプライチェーンが動き出し、ECによる出荷需要は堅調に推移しただけでなく、顕著な上昇も見られました。
DHLエクスプレスアジア太平洋地区CEOであるケン リーは、「ECは、新型コロナウイルスのパンデミック以降、アジアの小売事業者や消費者の間で人気が高まり、親しまれるようになりました。より多くの中小企業がオンラインに参入し、新しいインターネット利用者を含むより多くの消費者に対応しています。」と述べています。
コロナ禍を受けた消費者のライフスタイルの変化
オンラインショッピングを選ぶ理由が利便性であろうと、実店舗で買い物ができないためであろうと、多くの消費者は、パンデミックによるロックダウンや規制に適応して、習慣やライフスタイルを変えています。
これにより、ECの成長が加速し、オンラインの生活スタイルへの移行がますます進み、この現象は、業界関係者によると「もうあと戻りできない」とまで表現されています。
[caption id="attachment_13665" align="alignnone" width="1280"] ECは、現在グローバル市場で商品を販売している多くの中小企業にとって、新型コロナの影響を緩和するのに役立っています。[/caption]
アジアは、ECの成長を牽引する中心的な役割を果たしています。 特に、東南アジアのEC市場は、2025年までに23％成長し、 1,720億米ドル（1,420億ユーロ）規模に 達すると予想されています。
サプライヤーや企業は、この動向をいち早く認識し、この成長の勢いに乗ろうと積極的に動いています。2020年のGoogle社、Temasek社、Bain＆Company社による調査では、オンライン販売に関する検索エンジンでの検索数は昨年より伸びており、マレーシアとベトナムではそれぞれ5倍と6倍もの急激な増加が見られました。
活況を呈するECセクターの恩恵を享受しているのは、Shopeeなどのような地域で人気のあるECマーケットプレイスです。Shopeeは、昨年の第1四半期に商品総額が74.3％増加し、62億米ドル（51億2000万ユーロ）に達しました。
ロックダウンや規制緩和など、各国はさまざまな段階にあり、パンデミックがきっかけとなって起こったこのECブームは、まだその地域に潜在需要がある限り、当分続くだろう」と、リーは付け加えました。
2020年単年で、東南アジアの新規インターネットユーザー数は4,000万人増加し、現在、この地域の総人口の70％がデジタルサービスを使用しています。

[As passenger planes worldwide sit idle on the tarmac, cargo freighters have experienced a resurgence of sorts amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Travel bans have kept passenger aircraft on the ground, causing a shortage of belly space capacity that would otherwise be available for air freight shipments.
With little signs of cross-border travel resuming, demand for cargo space has remained strong and has consistently exceeded the available capacity — a phenomenon that is expected to last.
Data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) indicated that air cargo demand returned to pre-Covid levels in January this year for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. Volumes in February grew even further, returning to 2018 levels seen before the U.S.-China trade war.
In the pandemic’s early stages, essential cargo, such as medicine and personal protective equipment (PPE), and e-commerce shipments, dominated the available air cargo capacity. While the PPE demand has since stabilized with supply chains up and running, the e-commerce demand has not only stood firm, but has also seen a notable upswing.
“E-commerce has grown in popularity and familiarity among merchants and consumers in Asia since the Covid-19 pandemic. More small businesses are coming online to cater to a wider group of consumers, including new Internet users who have just hopped on the e-commerce bandwagon,” said Ken Lee, CEO, DHL Express Asia Pacific excluding China.
Consumer lifestyles shift amid Covid-19
Be it shopping online out of convenience, or due to the inability to shop at brick-and-mortar stores, many consumers have altered their habits and lifestyles to adapt and cope with pandemic-related lockdowns and restrictions.
This has supercharged the growth of e-commerce and accelerated a shift to an online lifestyle, which industry players have even described as “irreversible”.
E-commerce is helping to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 for many small businesses who are now selling their goods in the global marketplace.
Asia is taking center stage in driving e-commerce growth. In particular, Southeast Asia spearheads much of the development, boasting an e-commerce sector that is anticipated to grow by 23 percent to US$172 billion (€142 billion) by 2025.
Suppliers and businesses have been quick to notice the trend and have been actively finding ways to capitalize on the momentum. According to a 2020 study by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company, queries regarding online selling on the search engine skyrocketed last year, with Malaysia and Vietnam seeing a fivefold and sixfold jump respectively.
Reaping the benefits of the thriving e-commerce sector are the popular e-commerce marketplaces in the region such as Shopee, which saw its gross merchandise value jumping 74.3 percent to reach US$6.2 billion (€5.12 billion) in the first quarter last year.
With countries in varying stages of lockdown and recovery, the pandemic-induced boom in e-commerce is expected to last because of the sizable potential still untapped in the region, added Lee.
In 2020 alone, the number of new Internet users in Southeast Asia grew by 40 million, with 70 percent of the region’s total population now using digital services.

Easing the air freight capacity crunch
For DHL Express, the stakes are high in fulfilling the needs of customers, who now have heightened expectations for reliable, quick, and timely deliveries.
“The burgeoning population of e-commerce users will continue to demand higher efficiency and delivery speed from supply chains and airfreight transportation in the mid to long-term,” said Sean Wall, Executive Vice President, Network Operations & Aviation, DHL Express Asia Pacific.
Given that international air capacity remains limited in the region, DHL Express recently introduced new flights to cater to the high shipment volume demand and bolster its airfreight capacity within its Asia Pacific network.
Two new direct flight routes, operating from DHL Express’ Central Asia Hub in Hong Kong, will service the fast-growing markets of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, and Penang, Malaysia respectively.
Plying a Ho Chi Minh City-Hong Kong route six times a week, an Airbus A330 aircraft will offer air cargo load of up to 62 tons per flight, whilst an Airbus A300 aircraft with 54 tons of gross capacity will be dedicated to serve Penang at least five times a week. The added capacity will provide online businesses the opportunity to enhance their customer service and efficiency, as well as extend their reach across the region.
In its wider Asia Pacific network, DHL Express is also working with its partner airlines — Kalitta Air and AeroLogic — to expand its weekly airfreight capacity in the region by an additional 2,350 tons. The new services, powered by new Boeing 777 freighters, will address the increasing demand for international express deliveries, especially in the Oceania region.
Kalitta Air’s service will operate five times a week from Cincinnati and the Los Angeles gateway to the DHL Express South Asia Hub in Singapore, via Sydney. From Singapore, the aircraft will make stops in Hong Kong and Anchorage, Alaska, before returning to Cincinnati. In addition, Kalitta Air will also manage a new flight route that plies between Singapore and Sydney six times a week.
The other aircraft — operated by AeroLogic, the joint venture cargo airline of DHL Express and Lufthansa Cargo — will fly six times a week from Leipzig to Hong Kong and Singapore before making a stop at Bahrain and returning to Leipzig.
“With the new routes, businesses and consumers from Australia and New Zealand can expect the transit time to improve for their shipments to and from the U.S. and Europe as they look to expand their global reach,” said Lee.
“Our investment in the new aircraft and dedicated flight routes with increased frequency demonstrates our confidence in the region’s growth trajectory and our commitment to facilitate the flourishing e-commerce sector.”] =>

DHLエクスプレスアジア太平洋地区ネットワークオペレーションおよびアビエーション担当エグゼクティブバイスプレジデントであるショーン ウォールは、「急増するECユーザーは、中長期的にはサプライチェーンや航空貨物輸送に対して、より高い効率性と配送スピードを求め続けるでしょう。」と述べています。
この地域の国際航空輸送能力は依然として限られていますが、DHLエクスプレスは最近、増大する貨物需要に対応すべく新規フライトを導入し、アジア太平洋地域のネットワークにおける航空貨物輸送能力を強化しました。
香港にあるDHLエクスプレスのセントラルアジアハブからは、成長著しいベトナムのホーチミンとマレーシアのペナンにそれぞれ直行便が就航します。
週6便のホーチミン-香港線では、エアバスA330型機で最大62トンの航空貨物を輸送し、週5便以上のペナン線では、エアバスA300型機（総重量54トン）で輸送します。これにより、オンライン事業者は、顧客サービスの向上と効率化を図ることができ、また、地域内での事業拡大を図ることができます。
また、DHLエクスプレスは、アジア太平洋地域のネットワークにおいて、パートナー航空会社であるカリッタエアおよびエアロ・ロジックと協力し、同地域における航空貨物の輸送能力を週2,350トン追加します。 この強化策では、ボーイング777型貨物機を活用し、特にオセアニア地域での国際エクスプレス輸送の需要増加に対応します。
カリッタエアのサービスは、シンシナティとロサンゼルスのゲートウェイから、シドニーを経由してシンガポールのDHLエクスプレス南アジアハブへ週5回運航します。シンガポールからは、香港とアラスカのアンカレッジに立ち寄り、シンシナティに戻る予定です。 また、カリッタエアは、シンガポールとシドニーを週6回結ぶ新路線も運航します
もう1機は、DHLエクスプレスとルフトハンザカーゴの合弁貨物航空会社、エアロ・ロジック社が運航するもので、ライプチヒから香港、シンガポールへ週6便を運航した後、バーレーンに立ち寄ってライプチヒに戻る予定です。
「今回の新路線開設により、オーストラリアやニュージーランドの企業や消費者の皆様は、グローバルな展開を目指す米国や欧州との貨物輸送時間の短縮が期待できます。」

Asia is taking center stage in driving e-commerce growth. In particular, Southeast Asia spearheads much of the development, boasting an e-commerce sector that is anticipated to grow by 23 percent to US$172 billion (€142 billion) by 2025.
Suppliers and businesses have been quick to notice the trend and have been actively finding ways to capitalize on the momentum. According to a 2020 study by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company, queries regarding online selling on the search engine skyrocketed last year, with Malaysia and Vietnam seeing a fivefold and sixfold jump respectively.
Reaping the benefits of the thriving e-commerce sector are the popular e-commerce marketplaces in the region such as Shopee, which saw its gross merchandise value jumping 74.3 percent to reach US$6.2 billion (€5.12 billion) in the first quarter last year.
With countries in varying stages of lockdown and recovery, the pandemic-induced boom in e-commerce is expected to last because of the sizable potential still untapped in the region, added Lee.

渡航禁止令が出されたために旅客機は地上にとどまり、そのため航空貨物輸送に利用できるベリースペースが不足しました。
国境を越えた旅行が再開される兆候はほとんどないなかで、貨物スペースの需要は堅調で、常に利用可能なキャパシティを超えるほどの勢いがある状況は、今後も続くと予想されています。
国際航空運送協会（IATA）のデータによると、パンデミックの発生以降、今年1月に初めて、航空貨物需要が コロナ禍以前のレベル に戻ったことが示されています。 2月の取引量 はさらに増加し、米中貿易戦争前の2018年の水準に戻りました。
パンデミックの初期段階では、医薬品や個人用防護具（PPE）などの医療用物資、およびEC関連の出荷が、航空貨物のキャパシティの大部分を占めていました。その後、医療用個人用防護具の需要は落ち着きましたが、企業のサプライチェーンが動き出し、ECによる出荷需要は堅調に推移しただけでなく、顕著な上昇も見られました。
DHLエクスプレスアジア太平洋地区CEOであるケン リーは、「ECは、新型コロナウイルスのパンデミック以降、アジアの小売事業者や消費者の間で人気が高まり、親しまれるようになりました。より多くの中小企業がオンラインに参入し、新しいインターネット利用者を含むより多くの消費者に対応しています。」と述べています。

アジアは、ECの成長を牽引する中心的な役割を果たしています。 特に、東南アジアのEC市場は、2025年までに23％成長し、 1,720億米ドル（1,420億ユーロ）規模に 達すると予想されています。
サプライヤーや企業は、この動向をいち早く認識し、この成長の勢いに乗ろうと積極的に動いています。2020年のGoogle社、Temasek社、Bain＆Company社による調査では、オンライン販売に関する検索エンジンでの検索数は昨年より伸びており、マレーシアとベトナムではそれぞれ5倍と6倍もの急激な増加が見られました。
活況を呈するECセクターの恩恵を享受しているのは、Shopeeなどのような地域で人気のあるECマーケットプレイスです。Shopeeは、昨年の第1四半期に商品総額が74.3％増加し、62億米ドル（51億2000万ユーロ）に達しました。
ロックダウンや規制緩和など、各国はさまざまな段階にあり、パンデミックがきっかけとなって起こったこのECブームは、まだその地域に潜在需要がある限り、当分続くだろう」と、リーは付け加えました。
2020年単年で、東南アジアの新規インターネットユーザー数は4,000万人増加し、現在、この地域の総人口の70％がデジタルサービスを使用しています。

[As passenger planes worldwide sit idle on the tarmac, cargo freighters have experienced a resurgence of sorts amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Travel bans have kept passenger aircraft on the ground, causing a shortage of belly space capacity that would otherwise be available for air freight shipments.
With little signs of cross-border travel resuming, demand for cargo space has remained strong and has consistently exceeded the available capacity — a phenomenon that is expected to last.
Data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) indicated that air cargo demand returned to pre-Covid levels in January this year for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. Volumes in February grew even further, returning to 2018 levels seen before the U.S.-China trade war.
In the pandemic’s early stages, essential cargo, such as medicine and personal protective equipment (PPE), and e-commerce shipments, dominated the available air cargo capacity. While the PPE demand has since stabilized with supply chains up and running, the e-commerce demand has not only stood firm, but has also seen a notable upswing.
“E-commerce has grown in popularity and familiarity among merchants and consumers in Asia since the Covid-19 pandemic. More small businesses are coming online to cater to a wider group of consumers, including new Internet users who have just hopped on the e-commerce bandwagon,” said Ken Lee, CEO, DHL Express Asia Pacific excluding China.
Consumer lifestyles shift amid Covid-19
Be it shopping online out of convenience, or due to the inability to shop at brick-and-mortar stores, many consumers have altered their habits and lifestyles to adapt and cope with pandemic-related lockdowns and restrictions.
This has supercharged the growth of e-commerce and accelerated a shift to an online lifestyle, which industry players have even described as “irreversible”.
E-commerce is helping to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 for many small businesses who are now selling their goods in the global marketplace.

Easing the air freight capacity crunch
For DHL Express, the stakes are high in fulfilling the needs of customers, who now have heightened expectations for reliable, quick, and timely deliveries.
“The burgeoning population of e-commerce users will continue to demand higher efficiency and delivery speed from supply chains and airfreight transportation in the mid to long-term,” said Sean Wall, Executive Vice President, Network Operations & Aviation, DHL Express Asia Pacific.
Given that international air capacity remains limited in the region, DHL Express recently introduced new flights to cater to the high shipment volume demand and bolster its airfreight capacity within its Asia Pacific network.
Two new direct flight routes, operating from DHL Express’ Central Asia Hub in Hong Kong, will service the fast-growing markets of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, and Penang, Malaysia respectively.
Plying a Ho Chi Minh City-Hong Kong route six times a week, an Airbus A330 aircraft will offer air cargo load of up to 62 tons per flight, whilst an Airbus A300 aircraft with 54 tons of gross capacity will be dedicated to serve Penang at least five times a week. The added capacity will provide online businesses the opportunity to enhance their customer service and efficiency, as well as extend their reach across the region.
In its wider Asia Pacific network, DHL Express is also working with its partner airlines — Kalitta Air and AeroLogic — to expand its weekly airfreight capacity in the region by an additional 2,350 tons. The new services, powered by new Boeing 777 freighters, will address the increasing demand for international express deliveries, especially in the Oceania region.
Kalitta Air’s service will operate five times a week from Cincinnati and the Los Angeles gateway to the DHL Express South Asia Hub in Singapore, via Sydney. From Singapore, the aircraft will make stops in Hong Kong and Anchorage, Alaska, before returning to Cincinnati. In addition, Kalitta Air will also manage a new flight route that plies between Singapore and Sydney six times a week.
The other aircraft — operated by AeroLogic, the joint venture cargo airline of DHL Express and Lufthansa Cargo — will fly six times a week from Leipzig to Hong Kong and Singapore before making a stop at Bahrain and returning to Leipzig.
“With the new routes, businesses and consumers from Australia and New Zealand can expect the transit time to improve for their shipments to and from the U.S. and Europe as they look to expand their global reach,” said Lee.
“Our investment in the new aircraft and dedicated flight routes with increased frequency demonstrates our confidence in the region’s growth trajectory and our commitment to facilitate the flourishing e-commerce sector.”] =>
