DHL Express has increased its cargo capacity by 30 percent with the addition of its new A300 freighter service in Penang, Malaysia.
The logistics company’s new A300 service, which operates five times weekly to Hong Kong, also connects to DHL’s nonstop service from Hong Kong to Los Angeles.
“As a new generation aircraft, the A300 not only offers greater reliability, but helps us achieve greater per tonnage carbon efficiency as compared to the B727 that we are replacing,” said Yasmin Aladad Khan, senior vice president of DHL Express Southeast Asia, in a written statement.
“Penang is the top three most developed and industrial state in the country and is the hub for the Northern Corridor Economic Region,” he added.
