DHL Express expands capacity to its Asia Pacific air network as demand surges

  • New K-Mile Asia flight will add over 200 tons of capacity weekly between Hong Kong and Bangkok
  • Air Hong Kong will offer over 1,200 tons of weekly total gross payload for both flights: Hong Kong-Beijing and Hong Kong-Cebu-Manila
  • AeroLogic will add 610 tons of capacity with its six-times-a-week service from Hong Kong to Cincinnati

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 10 November 2021 – DHL Express, the world’s leading international express service provider, has expanded its airfreight capacity to cater to rising intra-Asia demand and between Asia Pacific and the U.S. With over 2,000 tons in total capacity every week, the additional flight routes allow DHL Express to increase delivery speed amidst surging shipment volume in Asia Pacific.   

 

 

Following the recent introduction of a newly converted B737-800 freighter that connects Hanoi, Hong Kong and Bangkok, a B737-400SF operated by K-Mile Asia that flies six times a week between Hong Kong and Bangkok, has been added. Furthermore, Air Hong Kong has added a sixth flight rotation to the two existing routes powered by the A300-600: Beijing-Hong Kong-Beijing, and Hong Kong-Cebu-Manila-Hong Kong.

 

To cater to the intercontinental cargo demand, an aircraft, operated by AeroLogic, the joint venture cargo airline of DHL Express and Lufthansa Cargo, will fly six times a week from DHL Express’ Central Asia Hub in Hong Kong to Cincinnati Hub in the U.S. This B777F aircraft is part of a recent delivery of the original order of 14 aircraft made in 2018.

 

“DHL Express remains committed to support our customers in growing their global footprint and entering new markets. We are investing close to EUR 750 million in our ground infrastructure and air network in Asia Pacific to ensure we respond nimbly to changing market needs. As economies recover from the global pandemic and income levels rise, we expect intra-Asia market to grow substantially, with a corresponding increase in demand for express logistics services propelled by the thriving e-commerce sector,” said Ken Lee, CEO, DHL Express Asia Pacific.

 

E-commerce shipments continue to drive air capacity demand


The pandemic and pandemic-related restrictions have further accelerated online sales growth, with Asia Pacific leading the charge. In 2020, e-commerce comprised half of the retail sales in Asia Pacific, and is expected to grow by 10 percent to 61 percent in 2025.

This growth can be attributed in part to social e-commerce – the business of selling goods online through people’s social networks – particularly in China and emerging countries in Southeast Asia such as the Philippines. The e-commerce sector in the Philippines has seen a surge in the midst of the pandemic, contributing 3.4%, or US$12 billion, to the country’s GDP in 2020, with the goal to increase e-commerce revenue to US$24 billion, or 5.5% of GDP, by 2022.

 

“To ensure we are ready to cater to the anticipated surge in demand during peak seasons, we consistently enhance our fleet and adjust our air network to provide our customers with the most efficient, time-definite international deliveries. Despite continued capacity crunch in the global supply chain, DHL Express’ dedicated freighters and strong network of partner airlines can continue to help companies stay resilient and responsive to their business needs,” said Sean Wall, Executive Vice President, Network Operations & Aviation, DHL Express Asia Pacific. 

 

DHL Express’ Asia Pacific air network operates on a multi-hub strategy, supported by four main hubs – Central Asia Hub in Hong Kong, North Asia Hub in Shanghai, South Asia Hub in Singapore and Bangkok Hub, linking to 50 DHL Express gateways in the region. DHL Express operates over 280 dedicated aircraft with 15 partner airlines on over 2,200 daily flights across more than 220 countries and territories.

 

Note to editor:

 

In November 2020, DHL Express announced that it will spend close to EUR 750 million to enhance its ground infrastructure and air network. This is followed by three announcements made in April, May and August 2021:

–      DHL Express adds airfreight capacity to its Asia Pacific network

–      DHL Express dedicates flights to Ho Chi Minh City and Penang amidst demand surge

–      DHL Express bolsters intra-Asia airfreight capacity

The Golden Duck Teams Up With Iconic Local Brands to Deliver the Gift of a Golden Christmas

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 10 November 2021 – With many of us forced to cancel the festive get-togethers with our loved ones living abroad this holiday season, local company The Golden Duck has joined forces with other iconic brands in Singapore – Killiney Coffee, Prima Taste, Ya Kun International and kāi; to send The Gift of a Golden Christmas packages across the globe. With compliments from the brand, the campaign will give 100 lucky individuals the opportunity to send these familiar treats to their loved ones they can’t be with this Christmas.

 

In a bid to rekindle the nostalgia of local flavours through the distinct decadence of familiar tastes, the Golden Duck aims to bring the warmth of home closer to those who will not be home this Christmas. Commenting on the inspiration behind the campaign, Chris Hwang, Co-founder & Chief Strategy Officer of The Golden Duck said “I’ve always believed in bringing people together for a bigger cause than ourselves. This is definitely a great opportunity to collaborate with not just iconic Singaporean brands, but also bring together our customers and their friends and family who live abroad who cannot be with us this Christmas.”

 

The Gift of a Golden Christmas Snack Box

 

As any foodie would agree, the fastest way to forge a connection is through munching and crunching on some yummy treats. From binge watching our favourite shows to gathering over good food and drinks, this limited-edition Golden Christmas Snack Box features a medley of Singaporean brands, including:

  • The Golden Duck Co’s Salted Egg Yolk Potato Ridges:  Made with salted-egg yolks cured to the hue of a golden sunset, each crunch is a satisfying explosion of flavours – the graininess of real salted eggs, a hint of curry leaves, and a dab of spice.
  • The Golden Duck Co’s Singapore Chilli Crab Seaweed Tempura: Coated with house-made tempura batter, deep-fried, and then topped with real crab meat, this addictive pack is your favourite Singapore chilli crab in snack form.
  • The Golden Duck Co’s Singapore Salted Egg Crab Seaweed Tempura: With the sweetness of real crab, the bold umami of salted eggs, the fragrant spice of chili and curry leaves, all brought together on tempura-coated squares of seaweed – we present our Salted Egg Crab Seaweed Tempura.
  • Prima Taste Laksa Paste: Created with a blend of fresh spices and herbs, this rich and versatile Laksa paste allows you to whip up a bowl of piping hot Laksa noodles or a plate of stir-fried Laksa fried rice in the comforts of your home.
  • Killiney 3-in-1 Premium White Coffee: Meticulously brewed to perfection and carefully blended with quality creamer to capture all the robust aroma, savour the taste of home anytime, anywhere with this 3-in-1 premium white coffee.
  • Ya Kun Kaya Toast Kaya Jar: A jar of the iconic Hainanese Kaya, made from a base of coconut milk, flavoured with pandan leaves and honey, for moments of deliciousness.

As a memento of local delights, each package will also include kāi stickers by local influencer Christabel Chua (@bellywellyjelly).

 

Echoing this sentiment of creating new memories while anchored to old bonds, Woon Tien Yuan, Director of Killiney Group said, “Christmas has always been a fun season for people of all ages to look forward to and it provides a good opportunity for family and friends to come together to celebrate. With this collaboration, I believe it becomes even more meaningful during pandemics like this because it serves as a timely reminder that we should all cherish such festive seasons even more so than before and to make an effort to spend more time with our family.”

 

“Instead of competition, I believe that local brands should look towards collaboration and stand strong on one united front, especially during this pandemic. The idea is to help one another reach out to a wider audience so that we can create a win-win scenario for all. We are thankful to The Golden Duck for spearheading this project and for this wonderful opportunity to work together,” he added.

 

The next best thing after visiting home and being with loved ones, is reacquainting oneself with the taste of home. Eric Sim, General Manager of Prima Taste commented, “We are pleased to be part of this collaboration with another homegrown company like The Golden Duck. During this pandemic, we long for that human connection and interaction more so than ever, yet many families and friends are still unable to unite. This gets especially more challenging during the end-year festive season. For close to 25 years, Prima Taste has preserved the heritage of Singapore food and shared its authentic taste with fans around the world, including many Singaporeans who miss the taste of home. We hope this “kampung spirit” collaboration will bring smiles, cheers and comfort to those who receive them.”

 

From now till 29th November 2021, customers and fans alike are encouraged to enter the 3-week long giveaway by sharing a heartfelt message to their loved ones living abroad. The top 100 most endearing messages will be selected to send a complimentary package of a golden Christmas to the ones they miss so dearly.
