FedEx Trade Networks offers bi-weekly air charter service from Hong Kong to U.S.

FedEx Trade Networks, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. has added an MD-11 charter to its existing international air cargo distribution service from Hong Kong to the US. Now offering two scheduled flights each week with Thursday and Saturday departures, FedEx Trade Networks China Connect(SM) provides year-round air charter service from Hong Kong to Chicago and onto New York, with ground service throughout the US and Canada.

This service supplements FedEx Trade Networks’ existing cargo capacity on commercial flights from the same region. The additional charter provides augmented air capacity, reliable transit times, dedicated space to importers moving air freight and secure lift throughout the entire year, including critical capacity times such as peak season, says the company.

The additional MD-11 doubles the charter capacity offered by FedEx Trade Networks China Connect, providing 180,000 pounds of increased capacity each week. The extra freighter also allows for main deck cargo storage, offering increased height capacity (up to 26 upper deck pallet positions).
