All Nippon Airways and Overseas Courier Service to launch express delivery service

All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Tokyo-based Overseas Courier Service (OCS) will jointly develop a new international express delivery service aimed primarily at the growing Asian market, ANA said Friday.

BEAM, as the new service will be known, is planned to launch at the end of Augustr. It will utilize ANA’s growing freighter network for air transportation and OCS’s collection, delivery and customs-clearance services on the ground to provide high-speed, high-quality and reliable international deliveries.

Services will first be offered to Shanghai — using ANA’s late night cargo flights from Haneda via Kansai — and rolled out to other points in China as demand for the service develops.
