DHL increases capacity to meet the fast growing trade between China and the Philippines

The total exports grew at a rate of 43.8 percent from the Philippines to China and 30.5 percent vice versa between 2000 and 2005. The trend continues to grow at a steady pace, and this increases a significant volume between Manila and Hong Kong. To meet the demand, DHL has increased the flight frequency via Air Hong Kong, which is a joint venture between Cathay Pacific and DHL, between Manila and Hong Kong from four to five times a week. As a result of the increased flights, the air cargo capacity will reach 24 tonnes and the payload capacity 240 tonnes.
