The airline will operate two weekly flights between Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport and Shenyang Taoxian International Airport, and two weekly flights between Chicago Rockford International Airport and Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.

Both services will be increased to three weekly flights from May 2023.

Flights will be carried out with three Boeing B767-300 freighters that have just been added to Maersk Air Cargo's fleet. The flights will be operated by Miami-headquartered cargo airline, Amerijet International.

Michel Pozas Lucic, Maersk's global head of air, said: “With the introduction of these new routes, we are further connecting North America and Asia Pacific through regular flights and controlled capacity for our customers.

“At Maersk, we want to ensure that our customers have the visibility, reliability, and resilience in their supply chains. Air freight continues to be an important asset in our customer´s end-to-end logistics needs."

Last month, Maersk Air Cargo began scheduled flights to Hangzhou, China from its hub at Billund Airport in Denmark.

Maersk also recently opened a new air freight hub at the Chicago gateway to further increase supply chain integration opportunities for customers using Chicago O'Hare International and Rockford International airports.

In addition to the three newly converted B767-300F freighters, Maersk Air Cargo has three other B767 freighters operated by Miami-based Amerijet.

Amerijet began operating three Maersk Air Cargo's newly built Boeing B767-300F freighters on the US-China route last year.

Subsequent flights between Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina (GSP) and Incheon, South Korea (ICN) were also added to the partnership.
