DACHSER adds weekly Frankfurt-Shanghai charter rotations for the autumn peak

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

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 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.”

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

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.

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.

Statement on the current situation in regard to the spread of the COVID-19 virus

With this announcement, DACHSER is providing information on action to be taken to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus (also known as the coronavirus) within the DACHSER organization and in regard to the current status of operational activities as well as any possible impacts on our customers’ shipments.

In view of the current situation, specific guidelines for conduct and precautions have been rolled out within the global DACHSER organization. The actions to be taken include the establishment of a central reporting management system, regular assessment of the situation, and definition of additional action according to the situation. The relevant activities were also expanded and intensified on the basis of the existing hygiene management in the various areas (human resources, operational, and process hygiene).

In addition to these actions taken internally, DACHSER is complying with all current official regulations and taking appropriate precautions. In the event of restrictions applicable to individual locations, action plans are ready to be implemented in order to ensure that our network can continue to operate.

To enable a smooth process, we depend on being able to work together with all parties involved in the supply chains, including cooperation with truck drivers so that they will also be able to comply with increased hygiene regulations. We also fully integrated the drivers into our hygiene management and provided hand disinfectants at all locations.

We are doing everything possible to maintain our customers’ supply chains and prevent delays in shipments. If supply chains are to be affected in any way by checks, controls, flight cancellations, or the like, we will work to find alternative ways to ship the goods. We would also like to point out that the delivery times for consignments could be extended. However, the measures we have taken so far make us feel well equipped to deal with the current situation.To make this possible, it is essential that we maintain close coordination with our customers.

If you have any questions about your freight, please get in touch with your local point of contact at the respective branch of DACHSER.
