Kuehne+Nagel expands air charter network for semiconductor industry
New weekly charters from and to U.S., the Netherlands & Taiwan; first around-the-world flight of B747-8F Inspire
Kuehne+Nagel has introduced three new charter connections between the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
Kuehne+Nagel’s own freighter, the B747-8 Inspire, will conduct two additional weekly routings from Atlanta and Chicago to Amsterdam and from there to Taipei, says an official release.
The flight will serve key industries such as healthcare, perishables and semicon, the release added. "As one of the world's leading microchip manufacturers, Taiwan accounts for approximately 20 percent of the global semiconductor industry. By connecting Taiwan with the Benelux region, Kuehne+Nagel can offer fully owned and controlled capacity for its semiconductor customers while adhering to the strictest quality standards. Earlier this year, Kuehne+Nagel announced their SemiconChain quality standard in response to the market's increased need for secure and reliable semiconductors transportation."
Yngve Ruud, Member of the Management Board responsible for Air Logistics, Kuehne+Nagel says: "Developing and offering logistics solutions for the semiconductor industry is part of our strategic Roadmap 2026. By introducing these two new connections, we can support our customers better and facilitate future growth in the sector."
The B747-8 freighter will connect the three regions through around-the-world flights as part of its regular schedule, the release added.
