DHL Global Forwarding has launched today a dedicated 100-tonne weekly air freight service for organizations and governments shipping goods from China to Africa and the Middle East where much-needed personal protective gear will make up the bulk of the cargo.
With its geographical location and superior infrastructure as a transit hub, Dubai will play a key role as a gateway between China and the rest of Africa and the Middle East allowing the leading international provider of air, sea and road freight services to consolidate cargo from across China into Guangzhou and air freight them via Dubai to their various destinations across Africa and Middle East, all within two or three days.
“DHL Global Forwarding is bolstering logistics support to our customers in the region who need to ensure stable supply chains, especially for medical and critical supplies during this critical period. With multiple flight cancellations that has strained worldwide air freight capacity, we remain committed to leveraging our capabilities, global network and customized solutions to ensure that goods and critical resources continue to reach people and communities in Africa and the Middle East,” said Amadou Diallo, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding Middle East and Africa.
