2007/07/11
KWE as a new airfreight forwarding service will from August commence the "Shanghai TWELVE Express" an ultra express delivery service that makes possible delivery of cargo received in Japan to a consignee within the Shanghai metropolitan area within 12 hours.
Further, prior to the commencement of this service, KWE will launch the "Shanghai TWENTY-FOUR Express" service that provides express delivery within 24 hours of cargo receipt from the Tokyo Metropolitan area or Kansai region.
The features of these new services are as follows:
* KWE by delivering a single ULD unit to an airline company is able to load cargo received by 6A.M. at its Narita Terminal facility onto a direct flight for Shanghai Pudong International Airport that leaves before noon on the same day.
* In the afternoon that the cargo arrives at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, KWE performs emergency customs clearance through its local import department and completes the delivery to the consignee within the Shanghai metropolitan area including Suzhou, Hangzhou and Wuxi by the same evening. (12-hour service.)
* KWE for cargo that it receives in the evening of the previous day performs late night customs clearance and as for the 12-hour service, using the next available flight the following day completes delivery to Shanghai via Shanghai Pudong International Airport that evening. (24-hour service)
* For the Kansai region, cargo delivered in the evening to any of KWE's cargo centers located within Osaka, Kyoto or Kobe is forwarded by KWE's own vehicles to its Narita Terminal by 6 am. the following morning and after early morning customs clearance is placed on a morning flight to Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
* These services will greatly reduce transport times that previously for door-to-door delivery would have taken between 2 and 4 days.
* As the commissioned airline company specializes in cargo transport, the handling of large size cargo is also possible.
* The "24-hour service" for the Tokyo metropolitan area will commence in the middle of this month and for the Kansai region from the beginning of August. The "12-hour service" for the Tokyo metropolitan area will also commence at this time. Initially these services will be available from Monday to Friday with 5 flights per week.
After the commencement of these new services that initially will center on the transport of small items such as samples requiring high-speed delivery, KWE plans to expand them to general and large cargo transport. It is expected that launch of these services will increase the present volume of cargo handled by KWE by approximately 10%.
