DHL to launch new flight from Hong Kong to US, Europe

Hong Kong
DHL is planning to launch a new, additional round-the-world flight connecting Hong Kong, Los Angeles, US and Leipzig, Germany, effective 27 March 2012.
The launch of the new route will create a service proposition on key trade lanes between Asia and Western US and Canada.
The company said that the introduction of three Boeing 777F freighters, operated by Southern Air, will improve the capacity and service reliability on the new route.
In September last year, the logistics provider had signed a multi-year agreement with Southern Air Holding to operate B777F freighters on intercontinental routes connecting the Americas, Asia and the Middle East.
The first of these round-the-world routes - from Hong Kong to the Express hub in Cincinnati to Bahrain and back to Hong Kong - is already in operation.
DHL Express chief executive officer (CEO) Mr. Ken Allen said that the introduction of this new round-the-world flight by the firm, The International Specialists, will bring benefits to its customers in all sectors in Asia, Europe the US and Canada, and deliver reduced transit times on some of the world's most important trade lanes.
