LATAM and DSV to expand Huntsville freighter operation
LATAM Cargo and DSV will increase the frequency of their freighter partnership operating out of Huntsville as they look to capitalise on demand to South America.
The partners started the service five months ago with a once-a-week flight on Mondays between the US airport and Viracopos in Brazil utilising a B767-300F.
The operation will now be expanded to three times per week with the addition of flights on Wednesdays and Fridays.
LATAM said that Huntsville is an “optimal origin and destination point, given its great connectivity both within the US and to international markets in Asia, Europe and South America”.
Executive vice president of DSV, Mads Ravn, said: “With the addition of two additional frequencies to the DSV Charter Network, we will now be able to offer unmatched transit times from the US south east as well as in-transit cargo from Asia and Europe.
“LATAM Cargo’s agile approach, to adapt to our customer’s needs in a challenging market has been instrumental. With the option to connect to LATAM’s network in South America, we offer our customers faster transit time and savings on trucking to Miami by stopping at the DSV Hub in Huntsville, Alabama for direct uplift to all of Latin America.”
The additional flights come as DSV yesterday reported a “reduced growth rate” for airfreight business in the third quarter of 2022 as rates declined and consumer demand dropped amid economic uncertainty.
