DHL Expands Cold Chain Air Routes Between US and Asia

DHL Global Forwarding has launched dedicated air freight corridors linking Cincinnati to major Asian distribution hubs, targeting temperature-controlled shipments for the healthcare sector. The move addresses sustained demand for perishable goods logistics across the trans-Pacific trade lane, where capacity constraints have pressured shippers seeking reliable service. China continues to anchor regional trade flows, with Southeast Asian production centers adding to air cargo volume throughout Asia. The new corridors arrive as carriers face heightened booking risks on major routes due to tightening capacity and declining service reliability. Container spot rates have climbed on major east-west trades following three months of post-peak season softness, signaling renewed shipper demand for guaranteed space.
