DP World Logistics Revolutionizes Global Trade with New Air Freight Services



06/18/2024


Global logistics is undergoing a significant transformation due to the rising demand for swift and dependable supply chain solutions. DP World Logistics is enhancing its services by launching an international air freight forwarding service, a strategic initiative poised to revolutionize global trade support across Peru and beyond.
 
A Strategic Airborne Initiative
Earlier this year, DP World Logistics celebrated a key milestone with the arrival of its first charter flight at Jorge Chávez Airport in Lima, Peru. Originating from Miami and transporting cargo from Luxembourg, this flight carried 200 cubic meters of machinery, equivalent to four 40-foot shipping containers. This achievement highlights the substantial capabilities of air freight in modern logistics, demonstrating DP World Logistics' dedication to efficiently managing large cargo volumes and setting a new standard for future operations.
 
A Holistic Logistics Approach
By introducing air freight services, DP World Logistics now provides a comprehensive range of logistics options, complementing its existing maritime solutions. This integrated approach combines air, maritime, and other transportation methods to optimize time and efficiency for global traders, offering a seamless, one-stop solution for all logistics needs.
 
Certified and Secure Operations
DP World Logistics is expanding its services while upholding the highest standards of operational excellence. With the international IATA certification, the company meets stringent criteria to handle air cargo across all airlines associated with the International Air Transport Association. This certification guarantees that DP World Logistics adheres to industry best practices and safety standards, assuring clients of the reliability and security of their logistics partner.
 
Enhancing Global Connectivity
The launch of air freight forwarding by DP World Logistics is timely. According to SUNAT, air transport in Peru managed substantial export and import volumes in 2023—73,000 and 78,000 tons, respectively. Air transport is vital to Peru's foreign trade, making DP World’s new service a significant enhancement to the national and global logistics landscape.
 
This service expansion positions DP World Logistics as a comprehensive logistics operator capable of addressing various logistical challenges. With offices in over 80 countries across multiple continents—America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East—DP World Logistics is poised to provide unparalleled logistical expertise and solutions, facilitating international trade flows.
 
Looking Ahead
As DP World Logistics continues to broaden its service offerings, the impact on global supply chains is anticipated to be profound. Providing integrated, end-to-end logistics solutions will streamline operations and reduce costs and transit times for clients worldwide. This innovative approach is set to establish new industry benchmarks, ensuring that DP World Logistics remains at the forefront of global logistics advancements.
