DHL increases Asian cargo capacity

DHL has increased its Asian cargo capacity in Manila and Hong Kong by utilising a new dedicated freighter to address the growing volume of imports and exports to and from the Philippines.

DHL’s Air Hong Kong B757-200 freighter has augmented its shipment capacity to 24 tonnes, an increase from its previous 19 tonnes. Flight frequency has also been increased from four to five times a week. These adjustments have increased DHL’s total payload capacity by 58 percent, creating a total payload capacity of 240 tonnes.

Exports from the Philippines to China grew by an average of 43.8 percent between 2000 and 2005, while imports from China to the Philippines grew by an average of 30.5 percent during the same period.

Aside from the larger shipment capacity, DHL’s new dedicated air transport gives customers the benefit of better shipment security. It reduces the risk of cargo being off-loaded due to commercial plane constraints.

DHL’s Asia Air Network includes more than 30 destinations in 16 countries and territories. It is also served by over 20 aircraft in dedicated air operations.
