Japan Post, ANA cargo airline expands into North America

Posted by | Sep 27, 2006 | |

The joint cargo venture between Japan Post and All Nippon Airways (AJV) is expanding into North America with six weekly flights from Nagoya to Chicago starting on Monday 2 October. Japan Post is to privatise in October 2007, allowing its investment in the international parcels, express and logistics markets.
The cargo airline, operated by ANA, began its pan-Asian express operation on 1 April this year with regular flights to China, Taiwan, South Korea and Thailand.

AJV, in which Japan Post owns one third, is dedicating its fourth freighter, a Boeing 767-300F, to serving Chicago via Anchorage. The flights will depart from Nagoya Centrair airport and two will return to Osaka’s Kansai airport.

“The new route marks the entrance of ANA Group into the North America-Japan-Asia logistics market and the further underpinning of cargo as its third core business in addition to its domestic and international passenger service,” ANA said in a statement.

ANA is coordinating flight schedules and giving priority space to Japan Post mail, while the joint company is also selling cargo space.

Deutsche Bahn sees future in global freight, logistics arena

Posted by | Sep 26, 2006 | |

Germany might be a country far, far away for most Chinese, but many warehouses and trucks in China’s large cities bear the DB logo of Germany’s state-owned railway operator, Deutsche Bahn AG.

Handling and transporting goods from all over the world is developing into an increasingly important business for the conglomerate.

With the acquisition of the US logistics company Bax Global at the end of last year, the transport firm Schenker, a Deutsche Bahn sister company, has ascended to the top of international freight forwarders and is expected to consolidate its position not only in China.

For Deutsche Bahn chief executive Hartmut Mehdorn, expectations for growth in this transport sector are high and crucial for the company’s planned stock-exchange listing.

Global management structure of Deutschen Post World Net aligned

Posted by | Sep 22, 2006 | |

An alignment and strengthening of Deutsche Post World Net’s global management structure was announced by CEO Dr. Klaus Zumwinkel. All Air-, Sea- and Road-Cargo forwarding businesses will be grouped within the Logistics division. The Express division will be lead by one member of the management board instead of two.

With the integration of Exel into the Logistics division progressing well, now the road cargo business (Freight) with revenues of around 4 billion Euros will be separated out of the Express division and brought into the Logistics division as an own subdivision. With a central management of the European road cargo business the market position of DHL can be strengthened and further revenue potential can be realised. A triple-digit-million Euro worth of transport volume can be awarded to the Freight subdivision, which has so far been purchased by the Logistics division externally.

Management responsibility for the completed Logistics division is with board member John Allan. Dr. Peter Kruse leaves the management board in best mutual agreement and will assume a new role in the group as a special representative of the CEO. John Mullen now heads the Express division globally.
