DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics has transported 3.25 million face masks from Mexico to Germany. There, DACHSER Road Logistics delivered them to various hospitals.

DACHSER transported 3.25 million face masks from Mexico to Germany.

DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics transported 3.25 million FFP-3 masks from Mexico to Frankfurt in a specially chartered Boeing 747. Even before landing, preparations at Frankfurt Airport for prioritized ground handling were already in full swing. The freight was then unloaded, handed over to DACHSER's import gateway and distributed to hospitals throughout Germany via the land transport network. "Our teams in Mexico and Germany have achieved an exceptional performance", says Timo Stroh, Head of Global Air Freight at DACHSER. "Especially in such challenging times, DACHSER has worked with excellent networks."

Reacting to special challenges with flexible solutions

DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics is currently organizing various charter rotations in order to offer its customers intelligent solutions for their transport needs, even in difficult market conditions. In addition to the Mexico - Frankfurt route, DACHSER also serves the Frankfurt - Shanghai and Chicago - Frankfurt routes and vice versa. "Thanks to the close links with our land transport network, we can offer our customers an integrated approach from consignor to consignee from a single source," says Alexander Tonn, Managing Director European Logistics Germany, who is responsible for DACHSER's German industrial goods business.

Coronavirus pandemic: Impact on operational processing in the USA

As can already be seen from various press releases, the US authorities have enforced a ban with effect from 13 March 2020, 23:59 h, which prevents all entries from Europe into the United States, in addition to the already existing entry ban for visitors from several Asian countries.

This leads to a large number of flight cancellations on routes between Europe and the United States. However, the affected passenger routes also represent a significant portion of the available cargo capacity and therefore there is a massive impact on available cargo space and freight rates.

Our team of experts continues to work hard on alternative options and routes that will allow us to carry urgent cargo and we are committed to providing our customers with priority access to available capacity. As with the successful implementation of our charter program between China and Germany, we are now exploring similar solutions for transportation between Germany and the USA.

Our teams around the world will stay in touch with you, but please do not hesitate to get in touch with your contact at the respective DACHSER branch to discuss your particular situation and make further arrangements for your freight shipments.
