CEVA Logistics is launching a new trans-Pacific charter program. The 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 carrying more than 100 tons of cargo. The Wuxi-Chicago charter is designed to accommodate a diverse range of cargo types, including industrial equipment, electronics, oversized cargo, e-commerce goods, and apparel. As part of the new charter program, CEVA is also offering customers sustainable aviation fuel options through its CEVA FORPLANET suite of low carbon transport and circular economy solutions.

CEVA is offering the charter solution through an agreement with Wuxi Sunan Shuofang International Airport Group. The Wuxi airport provides an inland advantage by covering the Yangtze River Delta Economic Development Zone. The ideal logistics hub serves not only global companies with manufacturing sites on the outskirts of Shanghai, but also Chinese companies in industrial, technology and e-commerce sectors. 

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, 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 service, as well as 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 offer a broader range of its customers access to the new trans-Pacific air charter solution. 

Loic Gay, global air product leader, CEVA Logistics, said: “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.”
