Delta is expanding its cargo-only flights between the U.S. and Asia, as demand for medical supplies continues to grow in the U.S. Beginning this week, Delta’s scheduled cargo operation will grow to daily-service with the addition of flights from Los Angeles, supplementing the Detroit service that launched March 30. The flights will operate daily to and from Shanghai, with a stop in Incheon.
Detroit-Incheon-Shanghai service will operate four times weekly, and Los Angeles-Incheon-Shanghai will operate three times weekly. All flights will use a fuel-efficient Airbus A350-900 aircraft, a widebody jet that can carry up to 42 tons of cargo in its hold. Once the cargo arrives in Detroit or Los Angeles, it will be transferred to domestic passenger flights to be shipped to destinations around the U.S.
