Apr 29, 2017: Dachser’s new air freight gateway went operational recently, in an effort to streamline air freight processes in the North China. The Shanghai Pudong Airport Bonded Zone branch expanded from 3,000 to 6,000 square metre.
“The North China gateway demonstrates Dachser’s high quality process management across continents,” explains Yves Larquemin, Managing Director Air & Sea Logistics North China.
Air freight handling is continuously facilitated by applying gateway procedural standards worldwide to increase response time and transparency.
Inbound and outbound cargo for the ten Dachser branches in North China will be routed through the Shanghai Pudong Airport and the Beijing International Airport, depending on their geographical proximity, specific requirements of the goods and current market situation, said Dachser in a release.
“Consolidating cargo via the gateway instead of handling it individually at local airports will harmonize processes and extend service capabilities,” said David Wang, Air Freight Gateway Manager North China.
All single steps like capacity planning, flight schedule updates or pre-alerts are synchronized throughout the company’s global network.
