Maersk has announced it will offer two new air freight services with frequent flights connecting the United States and China.
The Danish carrier will begin operations with two weekly flights between Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) and Shenyang Taoxian International Airport (SHE), as well as two weekly flights between Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) and Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH).
Both services will be expanded to three weekly flights from May 2023.
The trial will be carried out using three recently acquired Boeing 767-300 freighters that have recently been added to the inventory of Maersk Air Cargo, Maersk's cargo airline, and will be operated by Amerijet International, an American cargo airline based in Miami.
Maersk announced the inaugural flight of its new air freight service with three weekly scheduled flights between Billund (BLL) and Hangzhou (HGH) operated by Maersk Air Cargo on 20 March.
Additionally, the Copenhagen-based company recently launched another air freight service with regular flights between Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina (GSP) and Incheon, Korea (ICN) operated by Miami-headquartered cargo airline Amerijet International.
