Kintetsu World Express has expanded its Sky-Bridge charter services from Asia to North America, via Rickenbacker. The service operates from Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Indonesia to via consolidation hubs at Incheon International Airport and Dubai International Airport. It is based on block space agreements with airlines, dedicated passenger-converted freighter service to Rickenbacker.
The forwarder says it is in response to ongoing traveler restrictions that have resulted in substantially fewer direct cargo flights and reduced passenger-belly capacity, while demand for US-bound air transport is expected to increase with the onset of late-summer peak season.
