Freight forwarder Geodis has expanded its AirDirect in-house freighter aircraft operations, launched in August 2021, with new weekly services from Kuala Lumpur to Shanghai and Sydney and a second weekly rotation between Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Chennai and Kuala Lumpur. Services in Kuala Lumpur will dovetail with its road network to and from destinations throughout Southeast Asia. Geodis said the move would ease the strain on supply chains, amidst ongoing delays and flight cancellations across Southeast Asia due to the Omicron variant.
