A.P. Moller – Maersk announced today the first flight of Maersk Air Cargo’s new air freight service, with scheduled flights between Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina (GSP) and Incheon, Korea (ICN), stretching the wings of its newly introduced cargo airline for the first time.
The scheduled transpacific service will begin on October 31 with two weekly flights, introducing the first of three newly built Boeing 767-300 freighters purchased by Maersk Air Cargo. Amerijet International, based in Miami, will operate all flights between the United States and Korea.
Maersk Air Cargo is A.P. Moller-Maersk’s cargo airline arm, and it is on a mission to provide customers with unique end-to-end air freight services via its own controlled capacity and a global network of scheduled flights.
Maersk Air Cargo’s scheduled flight is also the first scheduled air cargo operation between the state of South Carolina and Asia. The GSP International Airport corridor is expected to significantly increase trade access between Asia, South Carolina, and the entire Southeast United States.
Maersk also recently opened a new Chicago Air Freight Gateway facility to provide additional supply chain integration opportunities for customers flying into Chicago O’Hare International and Rockford International.
