DHL expands capacity between Tokyo and Hong Kong
DHL has increased its capacity on the Tokyo-Hong Kong route by 20% with the launch of a new flight through Air Hong Kong, a joint venture between Cathay Pacific and DHL. Air Hong Kong currently operates five weekly freighters round-trips that depart from Narita for Hong Kong every Monday to Thursday and Saturday. The newly added sixth service, which operates every Friday, will made its maiden voyage on 2 April.
Air Hong Kong serves a role in DHL’s global network as Asia continues to be a driving factor for growth in world trade. The company operates 16 weekly round-trip freighters between DHL’s three Japanese gateways – Narita, Chubu International Airport (Centrair) and Kansai International Airport – and the DHL Express Central Asia Hub in Hong Kong.
The move is one of several upgrades DHL is implementing to optimise its global air network. DHL operates over 200 dedicated and commercial flights per week to and from Japan. The company offers services to nearly 120,000 destinations in over 220 countries and territories.
