DHL adds six dedicated healthcare air routes to Asia

DHL Global Forwarding has announced six new dedicated cold chain air routes linking major pharma hubs in Asia with distribution centers in North America and Europe.

Three routes operate from Cincinnati to Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul, while three European routes connect Liège and Brussels with Shanghai and Singapore.

The expansion uses primarily DHL-branded aircraft, reducing cargo handover risks and offering pharmaceutical customers greater control over sensitive shipments including medicines, vaccines, and clinical trial materials.
