Maersk Air Cargo launched two weekly flights from Hangzhou, China, to Chicago and Rockford in the United States via Incheon, South Korea, at the end of November this year, and will increase to six flights a week starting from January 2, 2023.

Also launched at the end of November is an air service from Shenyang, China, to Greenville-Spartanburg, the United States, via Incheon, South Korea, offering at least three flights a week starting in early January 2023.

"Hangzhou is one of China's high-tech manufacturing hubs, while Chicago and Rockford are important gateways to the American Midwest," Musky added.

On October 31, Maersk Air Cargo began air flights between the United States and South Korea, with twiceweekly flights between Greenville-Spartanburg in the United States and Incheon in South Korea.

Aymeric Chandavoine, Head of Logistics & Services, said at the time: "Air cargo is a key enabler of flexibility and agility in the global supply chain, helping shippers address supply chain challenges and providing diverse transportation options for high-value cargo. To this end, Maersk established Maersk Air Cargo in order to better meet customer needs while increasing our position in the global air cargo market."

Torben Bengtsson, Head of Maersk's Global Air Cargo and LFC business, further explained: "The establishment of Maersk Air Cargo is an important step in Maersk's air cargo strategy. "Customer demand for air freight continues to increase, both now and in the future, as does the need for end-to-end logistics."
