Yusen launches service from Semarang, Indonesia airport

The new service from Semarang Airport will be faster and more reliable than trucking cargo 310 miles to the Jakarta airport, according to PT. Yusen Logistics.    PT. Yusen Logistics Indonesia has launched its own consolidation airfreight forwarding service from Semarang Airport (Achmad Yani International Airport) in Central Java.
   Yusen said the new service provides customers with a faster and more cost-effective forwarding solution, which facilitates integrated in-house handling and includes both customs clearance and collection.
   “The new service has been introduced to support the growing number of businesses moving into the region, and to improve the existing local supply chain,” it added. “Previously, air freight from Semarang required land transportation to Jakarta, 310 miles west from Semarang, where it would be forwarded on from Jakarta International Airport. However, because road conditions in the region are poor and vulnerable to flooding, PT. Yusen Logistics Indonesia sought to develop a faster and more reliable solution.”
   From Semarang, freight can be forwarded by air worldwide via Jakarta, Denpasar, Singapore or other airports.
