Maersk, the global logistics leader just announced the launch of the inaugural flights for its air freight services, connecting Billund, Denmark (BLL) and Hangzhou, China (HGH), adapting to the increasing demand between the two regions.

A.P. Moller - Maersk is an integrated logistics company operating in over 130 countries, committing to connecting global supply chains and reach zero net transmission for sustainable development. The Euroasia route will commence in March 20 with three scheduled flight weekly. 

“With the introduction of our new service between Europe and China, we have taken another leap with our customers in providing true integrated logistics. We want to ensure that our customers have the visibility, reliability, and resilience in their supply chains. In this, air freight with scheduled flights and controlled capacity represents a crucial part of our customers´ end-to-end logistics needs,” Michel Pozas Lucic, Global Head of Air in A.P. Moller - Maersk said in a statement. 

This initiative also marks the first scheduled air cargo operation between Denmark and Asia. Apart from that, Maersk at the same time opened an air freight hub at Billund Airport. It promises a significant raise in access level for cargo between Scandinavia, Northern Europe and Asia Pacific. 

This project further complements the company’s commitments and helps provide customers with unique end-to-end air freight services through its own controlled capacity and a global network of scheduled flights.

Another route that has just been launched by Maersk is between Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina (GSP) and Incheon, Korea (ICN) operated by Miami-headquartered cargo airline Amerijet International. The logistics giant also opened a new Chicago air freight gateway facility to better serve customers using Chicago O’Hare International and Rockford International.
