Hacis provides a one-stop-shop suite of services that enables Flexport to route cargo through Hong Kong as a key transit hub
Hactl-owned Hong Kong Air Cargo Industry Services Limited (Hacis) has strengthened its collaboration with Flexport with the aim of establishing Hong Kong as Flexport's transit hub.
Hacis initially provided mail handling services to Flexport, and gradually expanded its offerings to include Merge-in-Transit (MiT) solutions as well as Airport Direct import and export services.
Today, Hacis provides a fully integrated one-stop-shop suite of services that enables Flexport to route cargo through Hong Kong as a key transit hub with greater efficiency, scalability and control, said Hactl (Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited) in a press release.
Through its MiT solution, Hacis merges shipments from multiple origins in Hong Kong under forwarder control before onward delivery. Under its Airport Direct services, Hacis handles cargo collection, delivery, documentation, on-airport storage, containerisation and fulfilment, with operations located immediately beside the apron at Hong Kong International Airport's SuperTerminal 1 for maximum speed and efficiency.
Ringo Chan, executive director of Hacis, said: “With our fully integrated, one-stop-shop service, we enable Flexport to route cargo via Hong Kong with greater reliability and efficiency. This partnership shows how Hacis adapts to the evolving needs of customers and supports their growth, while helping Hong Kong maintain its competitive edge in global air logistics.”
Daniel Sanvicente, senior vice president, head of APAC at Flexport, said: ”With its one-stop-shop approach and direct air-side access facility, partnering with Hacis enables Flexport to provide highly efficient, consolidated air services across a broad network.
"Utilizing Hong Kong’s strategic location as a key gateway for South China origin cargo, this collaboration expands our connectivity and service offerings, fuelling Flexport’s continued growth in South China and our expanding presence across Southeast Asia and beyond.”
As global supply chains continue to shift, Flexport aims to continue to build its APAC network, enhance its airfreight capabilities and leverage Hong Kong’s position as a transit hub for regional and global trade.
