DACHSER transported 3.25 million face masks from Mexico to Germany

DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics transported 3.25 million FFP-3 masks from Mexico to Frankfurt in a specially chartered Boeing 747. Even before landing, preparations at Frankfurt Airport for prioritized ground handling were already in full swing. The freight was then unloaded, handed over to DACHSER's import gateway and distributed to hospitals throughout Germany via the land transport network. "Our teams in Mexico and Germany have achieved an exceptional performance", says Timo Stroh, Head of Global Air Freight at DACHSER. "Especially in such challenging times, DACHSER has worked with excellent networks."

Reacting to special challenges with flexible solutions

DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics is currently organizing various charter rotations in order to offer its customers intelligent solutions for their transport needs, even in difficult market conditions. In addition to the Mexico - Frankfurt route, DACHSER also serves the Frankfurt - Shanghai and Chicago - Frankfurt routes and vice versa. "Thanks to the close links with our land transport network, we can offer our customers an integrated approach from consignor to consignee from a single source," says Alexander Tonn, Managing Director European Logistics Germany, who is responsible for DACHSER's German industrial goods business.

Latest update on DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations

With this update DACHSER would like to inform about the current DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations across the regions APAC, EMEA and Americas. In the attached document (see download below) it is listed whether a country organization of DACHSER is operational or, if only limited or not at all, why this is the case. Since the situation in the countries may change rapidly, the attached document will be updated on a regular basis and published on our website.

We sincerely regret any inconveniences caused to our customers due to the pandemic. At DACHSER, we have contingency measures in place and will offer our customers the best alternative solutions to keep the supply chain running. Anyhow, the situation at ports, airports or customs authorities might cause delays. Furthermore, the capacity situation on the global airfreight market is very tense as there are basically no passenger flights operating at the moment.

At the same time, DACHSER has installed strict hygiene measures (e.g. home office) to ensure a safe working environment and to do our part in stopping the spread of the virus. DACHSER is trying to keep the impact of these measures as low as possible, however, together with the official measures by the governments, the precautions may lead to some delays in the operations.

In case of any questions and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative.
