CEVA Logistics is launching a new trans-Pacific charter program, strengthening its global air freight network with consistent and reliable capacity on key trade lanes. This new air cargo charter solution connects Wuxi, China (WUX), to Chicago, U.S. (ORD), offering three flights per week.
The inaugural charter flight departed from Wuxi to Chicago earlier today, carrying more than 100 tons of diverse cargo. The Wuxi-Chicago charter is designed to accommodate a wide range of goods, including industrial equipment, electronics, oversized cargo, e-commerce goods, and apparel. As part of this new charter program, CEVA is also offering customers Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) options through its CEVA FORPLANET suite of low-carbon transport and circular economy solutions.
Strategic Locations for Consolidation and Onward Destinations
CEVA is offering this charter solution through an agreement with Wuxi Sunan Shuofang International Airport Group. Wuxi airport provides an inland advantage by easily covering the Yangtze River Delta Economic Development Zone, serving global companies with manufacturing sites on the outskirts of Shanghai, as well as Chinese companies in industrial, technology, and e-commerce sectors.
Upon arrival in Chicago, cargo can be efficiently distributed across various major U.S. cities, leveraging CEVA’s gateway located less than 10 miles from the airport. This 700,000-square-foot air freight warehouse includes an 8,000-square-foot Free Trade Zone (FTZ), a 10,000-square-foot cold storage facility with two chambers, a 180,000-square-foot Container Freight Station (CFS), and a 180,000-square-foot Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF) with ETA, x-ray, and K-9 inspection capabilities.
Through CEVA’s robust domestic LTL ground transport network, more than 200 weekly linehaul options connect the Chicago gateway with hubs in Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, and Columbus, as well as 70 onward distribution sites across the country, to complete the final domestic delivery in less than 24 to 48 hours. The charter program also provides swift customs clearance and airport handling services, along with other tailored solutions for cross-border volumes.
In addition, CEVA’s freight management solutions across Southeast Asia extend the service’s reach to other major cities and manufacturing zones. By offering multi-modal transport options from Southeast Asia to Wuxi, CEVA can provide a broader range of its customers with access to the new trans-Pacific air charter solution.
Loic Gay, Global Air Product Leader, CEVA Logistics, stated: “CEVA Logistics continues to invest in our global air freight network and our owned, controlled capacity. This new trans-Pac charter service underscores CEVA’s commitment to securing the right capacity on the right lanes for current and future customers in order to meet their evolving needs.”
