Meeting peak season demand with 70 dedicated charter flights to three major U.S. cities twice weekly

Issue 358, August 29, 2002
Danzas, one of the world's leading providers of IT-supported logistics solutions, is meeting increased cargo demand during peak season period from July to December with a new charter service program in Hong Kong.

The continued demand for imports from Asia to North America has put a premium on the availability of scheduled airfreight lift out of Hong Kong. Through the charter program, customers would enjoy guaranteed access to airfreight space during the critical shipping period.

Danzas provides efficient logistics coverage with 70 charter flights from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, on a twice-weekly basis, in partnership with Atlas Air and Lufthansa. Atlas Air departs on Thursday and Monday to Chicago and New York, while Lufthansa flies to Los Angeles every Wednesday and Sunday.

Head of Danzas's Intercontinental Business Unit for Hong Kong and South China, Mr. Kelvin Leung said, "Hong Kong has traditionally been a high season market for us. We have experienced an upsurge in shipments of up to 170%. Customers, particularly the high-tech and fast-moving-consumer-goods industries, have been responding positively to our initiatives".
