Market intel

• Maersk Air Cargo takes on another B767 and ups frequencies

  MAERSK Air Cargo has added an extra Boeing 767 freighter and boosted frequencies on transpacific and Asia-Europe flights, reports London's Air Cargo News.

  The carrier said it would increase its transpacific service between Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) and Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport from three to six weekly rotations.

  Its service calling Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP), Incheon International Airport, Korea (ICN) and Shenyang Taoxian International Airport, China (SHE) will go from two to three per week.

  And at the same time, the service between Billund Airport, Denmark (BLL) and Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH) will increase from three to five weekly rotations.

  The increased frequency was partly made possible by the delivery of the carrier's latest 767 freighter. The new aircraft will be directly operated by Maersk Air Cargo - the carrier also partners with Amerijet on flights - and is the fifth of six of the model ordered by the airline.

  The shipping group-owned airline said that adding the extra flights would "plug a connectivity gap between the world's three largest markets for ocean customers, North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific with new solutions for time-sensitive and high-value cargo".

  The carrier, which launched operations last year, recently opened a new Chicago air freight gateway facility.

  Maersk also offers services to South Carolina, Korea and China operated by Miami-headquartered cargo airline Amerijet International.
