AirBridgeCargo Airlines will strengthen its presence in Asia with increased frequencies to Ho Chi Minh City, Shenzhen and Tokyo Narita.

According to ABC, its schedule from the end of March 2019 will include two weekly frequencies to Ho Chi Minh City, six to Shenzhen and eight to Narita.

Shenzhen was added to ABC’s Asia-Pacific network towards the end of 2018 and has been supported by stable customer demand with various types of cargo, including those requiring special handling procedures. Together with other cities in the region, it is part of the largest manufacturing base in the world.

“Being one of the three airport hubs serving Pearl River Delta, Shenzhen complements our APAC online stations and offers our customers more options for delivery of their consignments,” said Alexey Zotov, commercial director of AirBridgeCargo. “With the airport’s plan for further cargo infrastructure expansion and construction of a third runway, we feel supported and confident that our flights will be operated smoothly and seamlessly, ensuring we can guarantee the level of quality our customers expect from us.”

ABC has registered an average of 5% annual growth in the Asia-Pacific region in the last five years as customers seek additional capacity and delivery solutions.

“Our international network is a life form that transforms and grows in line with business needs,” said Sergey Lazarev, general director of AirBridgeCargo. “We expect our customers will get more flexibility and a variety of delivery solutions to/from Asia. This will bolster our abc e-com product out of Shenzhen, abc XL and abc pharma from Narita, and abc general with abc valuable services from Ho Chi Minh City. Based on the backdrop of healthy and stable growth of Asian countries, ABC will be able to boost export volumes, at the same time accumulating burgeoning import volumes.”

AirBridgeCargo has been operating in Asia since 2004 and now serves 14 cities.
