DHL ADDS BOEING 747-400F TO ITS ASIA AIR NETWORK By Zakaria Wahab
SINGAPORE, April 29 (Bernama) -- DHL, one of the world's leading express and logistics companies, announced Wednesday that a Boeing 747-400F has been added to service its vital Singapore-Hong Kong route through Air Hong Kong, a joint venture between Cathay Pacific and DHL.
The 110-tonnes Boeing freighter replaced the current 45-tonnes A300-600F,
and would operate between both cities six days a week, more than doubling
capacity on the SIN-HKG route, a vital link for Intra-Asia trade, the company
said in a statement here.
The addition of the Boeing 747-400F service came on the back of increased
air capacity for flights between Hong Kong and Nagoya, Taipei, Seoul and
Singapore, it said.
Operated by Air Hong Kong, the flights were increased in the fourth quarter
of 2008 to six times per week, up from five times a week, representing a 20 per
cent increase in capacity for each of these four cities, the company added.
