Nippon Express introduces Japan-US high-speed consolidated air cargo service

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 -- Nippon Express Co Ltd recently launched its high-speed consolidated service for air cargo being shipped out of Japan’s Haneda Airport to the southeastern United States via Atlanta Airport.

The service, ‘NEX-SPEED Super-Fast! Atlanta’ achieved the fastest shipping time available by loading cargo conveyed to Haneda Airport in the morning onto a direct flight bound for Atlanta that same day.

According to a statement, once the cargo arrives at Atlanta Airport, the Atlanta Branch of Nippon Express USA Inc, promptly takes receipt of the cargo from the airline's terminal.

The company has its own facility in close proximity to Atlanta Airport, and this, combined with the (optional) emergency delivery service offered by the Atlanta Branch, enables same-day delivery.

The same-day delivery area is within a radius of approximately 300 km from Atlanta, an area that covers most of Georgia and Alabama as well as portions of other neighbouring states.

Nippon Express is the only forwarder with a work facility handling both domestic and international cargo inside Haneda Airport, allowing it to sort cargo arriving on domestic flights within the airport and then load the cargo aboard international flights.
