The service offers high-capacity widebody freighter operations with up to 100 tons per flight, complemented by extensive road feeder connectivity across the U.S. “In addition to the new Bangkok-Cincinnati connection, the solution provides customers with broader access to DHL Global Forwarding’s Transpacific network through coverage in Vietnam (Hanoi) and Taiwan (Taipei), connecting shipments to key U.S. gateways including Cincinnati (CVG) and Chicago (ORD),” the forwarder said. “Southeast Asia continues to gain strategic importance as a manufacturing and sourcing region. With our new Bangkok-Cincinnati connection and broader Transpacific network coverage, we are offering customers not only speed and capacity, but also the reliability and control they need to build more resilient supply chains. Expanding our controlled air freight capacity is a key lever to help customers navigate volatility and respond to disruption more effectively,” Henk Venema, Global Head of Air Freight at DHL Global Forwarding, said.
The “TransPac Connect” service is part of DHL Global Forwarding’s broader controlled-capacity strategy and is supported by a dedicated air freight network spanning Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. This includes multiple weekly rotations across key hubs such as Frankfurt, Liège, Amsterdam, and Hong Kong.
