DHL Global Forwarding has launched a new dedicated Transpacific air cargo service connecting Bangkok (BKK) and Cincinnati (CVG), operating three times weekly as part of its new TransPac Connect solution.
The service uses high-capacity wide-body freighter operations, offering up to 100 tons per flight, complemented by road feeder connectivity across the United States.
Beyond the Bangkok-Cincinnati route, TransPac Connect gives customers broader access to DHL Global Forwarding’s Transpacific network through coverage in Hanoi in Vietnam and Taipei in Taiwan, connecting shipments to US gateways including Cincinnati and Chicago (ORD).
The company said the dedicated service provides secure main deck capacity, stable schedules and improved cost predictability, and is designed to help customers plan supply chains with more confidence amid market disruption and fluctuating rates. The solution is aimed particularly at oversized and high-value cargo, supported by end-to-end operational control.
Henk Venema, global head of air freight at DHL Global Forwarding, said, “Southeast Asia continues to gain strategic importance as a manufacturing and sourcing region. With our new Bangkok-Cincinnati connection and broader Transpacific network coverage, we are offering customers not only speed and capacity but also the reliability and control they need to build more resilient supply chains. Expanding our controlled air freight capacity is a key lever to help customers navigate volatility and respond to disruption more effectively.”
TransPac Connect forms part of DHL Global Forwarding’s broader controlled capacity strategy, which includes a wider dedicated air freight network spanning Asia, Europe and the Middle East, with multiple weekly rotations across hubs including Frankfurt, Liège, Amsterdam and Hong Kong. The company said the new connections complement its recent expansion of dedicated air freight capacity between Asia and Europe.
