Kuehne+Nagel has introduced three new charter services between America, Europe and Asia. Starting October 23, Kuehne+Nagel’s own freighter, the B747-8 “Inspire”, will fly twice a week from Atlanta and Chicago to Amsterdam and from there to Taipei.
This flight will serve key industries such as healthcare, perishables and semiconductors. As one of the world’s leading microchip manufacturers, Taiwan accounts for about 20% of the global semiconductor industry. By connecting Taiwan to the Benelux region, Kuehne+Nagel can offer its customers in the semiconductor industry fully owned and controlled capacity while maintaining the strictest quality standards. Earlier this year, Kuehne+Nagel announced its SemiconChain quality standard, responding to the market’s growing need for safe and reliable semiconductor transportation.
Yngve Ruud, Member of the Kuehne+Nagel Management Board and responsible for Air Logistics, comments: “Developing and offering logistics solutions for the semiconductor industry is part of our strategic roadmap 2026. With the introduction of these three new connections, we can better support our customers and support the future growth of the industry.”
From now on, the B747-8 freighter will connect the three regions with flights around the globe as part of its regular schedule.
