Starting 27th March, three additional Boeing 777F freighters will fly a new round-the-world route connecting the DHL hubs: Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Leipzig. The idea behind this new service is to offer next-day services in the USA and Canada.

“The introduction of this new round-the-world flight by DHL, The International Specialists, will bring unrivalled benefits to our customers in all sectors in Asia, Europe, the U.S. and Canada, and deliver reduced transit times on some of the world’s most important trade lanes”, confirmed Ken Allen, CEO of DHL Express.

Beyond that, DHL Express transit and collection times are said to improve significantly. Customers from Western U.S. cities including Los Angeles and Seattle will benefit from later time frames. According to the logistics company, bookings with DHL courier services to Europe could be made up to three hours later than usual.

In the light of the new route launch, DHL has released the following video:
