DHL Expands Air Freight Capabilities in New Zealand and Australia Recently, DHL Express has commenced its upgraded overnight direct freight service connecting Auckland, New Zealand, and Melbourne, Australia, enhancing its trans-Tasman air freight capabilities. The new dedicated freighter operates five flights per week, each carrying an additional 34 tons compared to the previous 737s. With the larger aircraft cargo hold, the wide-body design can accommodate 24 unit load devices (ULDs) on the main deck, compared to a maximum of 11 on the 737s. The expanded capacity supports the trade needs and growth between the two countries. Mark Foy, Managing Director of DHL Express New Zealand and Pacific Islands, said, "The company is delighted to announce the arrival of the upgraded dedicated freighter, connecting Auckland and Melbourne. As freight volumes between New Zealand and Australia grow, this aircraft will ensure reliable service performance and improve efficiency, reaffirming our commitment to supporting trans-Tasman trade." Additionally, the aircraft's fuel efficiency is higher due to its ability to fly at higher altitudes and speeds. This provides New Zealand and Australian businesses with a faster and more reliable freight delivery route, benefiting from a one-day freight transit time in major urban areas. The new DHL-branded aircraft strengthens DHL's existing trans-Tasman air freight capabilities, matching the current DHL Express Auckland to Sydney freighter model, which will now add a flight to Christchurch. Mark Foy said, "This new freighter improves the connectivity of New Zealand businesses, as it complements our current 'Auckland-Sydney' route and adds a stop in Christchurch. The connection between the North Island and the South Island provides the much-needed freight capacity to meet the growing volume of freight we are seeing. The company is confident in better supporting New Zealand businesses through our international distribution network."
