DSV celebrates air charter expansion in Arizona
Presence in Mesa includes new charter routes to connect Arizona with Europe and Latin America
DSV, a leader in global transportation and logistics, celebrated the expansion of its air charter network into Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport last week (May 16).
"The ribbon cutting ceremony marks DSV’s commitment to continue supporting customers within the fast-growing semiconductor industry in Arizona," says an official release.
The event was attended by Mesa Mayor John Giles and other local dignitaries, customers, and community partners, the release added.
Connecting Arizona to Europe and Latin America
DSV’s new air charter route is the first regularly scheduled air cargo charter in the area, the release added. "The strategic presence in Mesa includes new air charter routes that will connect Arizona with Europe and Latin America along with a leased airport hangar and its own ground-handling equipment. This will support DSV's growing customer base within the semiconductor industry in Arizona and enable cargo to move efficiently by avoiding congested airports elsewhere."

Niels Larsen, President, Air & Sea, US, DSV says: “I am extremely excited to officially launch this new addition to our air charter solutions. The industrial developments we are seeing in Arizona right now are quite significant. This makes it a strategically important place for us to be, which is why we are now upscaling our operations in the area through the new air charter routes.
“With these new service offerings, DSV can provide more routes to LATAM and Mexico. Furthermore, the Mesa airport plays perfectly into our strategy of using tier two airports to avoid long lead times, and it will also have a strong strategic importance for our ability to serve customers in the semiconductor segment. This will create some unique competitive advantages, and quite frankly, it will be a game-changer for us.”
