Dachser Air & Sea Logistics announced that it organized eight flights from Hong Kong to Mexico via Canada in June and July.
It said the new charter service offers customers additional, reliable capacity and is supposed to be continued in August.
The stable uptrend in air freight market
“Apart from a brief drop in March, the air freight market is on a stable uptrend, which is reflected in consistently high demand,” says Timo Stroh, head of Global Air Freight at Dachser.
The company noted, however, that fluctuating capacity and a high rate level have ensured that the situation remains complex.
“Since we expect it’ll be a long time before belly capacity goes back up, charter activities are and will remain crucial if we are to offer our customers stable network capacity and reliable transit times,” Stroh added.
In the first half of 2021, Dachser carried out more than 100 charter activities, regularly serving 12 different departure airports and 15 different receiving airports.
