International Express DHL put into operation another B777 cargo plane

Recently, DHL Express put into operation another B777 cargo plane at its South Asia hub in Singapore. This is the last of five B777 cargo planes deployed and used in the crew and maintenance agreement signed between DHL Express and Singapore Airlines in 2022.

Singapore is one of the major air cargo and logistics hubs in the Asia-Pacific region. Since December 2023, the five B777 cargo planes have operated 12 flights between the United States and Asia every week, reducing the transit time between the Asia-Pacific region and the West Coast of the United States to one day, thus meeting customers' timeliness requirements for cross-border transportation.

With the deployment of these five B777 freighters, the number of B777 freighters in DHL Express fleet has reached 28. B777 freighters are twin-engine freighters with large volume, long range and excellent performance, which have higher fuel efficiency. Compared with B747-400, the carbon dioxide emissions of B777 freighters are reduced by 18%, which will help DHL Express optimize its operation and achieve its sustainable development goals.

The demand for economy, trade and logistics between China and the Asia-Pacific region has recovered steadily, and DHL Express has continuously expanded its investment in logistics facilities in the Asia-Pacific region. Last November, the expansion and commissioning ceremony of DHL Central Asia Hub in Hong Kong started, and the cumulative investment of the Central Asia Hub has reached 562 million euros.

In the same month, DHL Express opened an intercontinental cargo route from Guangzhou to Cincinnati. With the opening of this route, DHL Express currently operates 9 flights at Guangzhou Port, and the capacity of American Line has increased to over 700 tons, further shortening the transit time between South China and America. 

国际快递DHL再投运一架B777货机

       近日，DHL快递在其位于新加坡的南亚枢纽再投运一架B777货机。这是2022年DHL快递与新加坡航空签署的机组人员和维护协议中，所部署使用的五架B777货机中的最后一架。

       新加坡是亚太地区重要的航空货运和物流枢纽之一。自2023年12月起，这五架B777货机每周共执飞12班往返美亚间的航班，让亚太与美国西海岸之间的转运时间可缩短至1天，从而满足客户对于跨境运输的时效性要求。

       随着这五架B777货机的部署使用，DHL快递机队中B777货机的数量达到28架。B777货机是体积大、航程远，且性能出色的双引擎货机，具有更高的燃料效率。与B747-400相比，B777货机的二氧化碳排放量减少了18%，将助力DHL快递优化运营并实现其可持续发展目标。

       中国和亚太地区经贸、物流需求稳健复苏，DHL快递持续扩大在亚太地区的物流设施投资。去年11月，位于香港的DHL中亚枢纽启动扩建投运仪式，中亚枢纽的累计投资总额已达5.62亿欧元。

       同月，DHL快递增开了广州至辛辛那提的洲际货运航线。随着该航线的开通，目前DHL快递在广州口岸运营9个航班，美线运力提升至700吨以上，进一步缩短中国华南地区与美洲之间的转运时间。
