December 24, 2020

NEX-FORWARDING Capital Direct and NEX-FORWARDING Haneda Rail Transport launched

Nippon Express Co., Ltd (Mitsuru Saito, President), will begin sales on Thursday, December 24 of two new import delivery services -- NEX-FORWARDING Capital Direct and NEX-FORWARDING Haneda Rail Transport - for cargo arriving at Haneda Airport from around the world.

Situated in Japan's largest consumer area of Tokyo, Haneda Airport offers a very advantageous location from which to make deliveries to the Kanto region and environs. The number of international arrival and departure slots available at Haneda Airport were also increased this past March, prompting expectations of a significant rise in international routes utilizing the airport.

Nippon Express is the only forwarder with facilities at Haneda Airport that handle both domestic and international cargo, and it added collection and delivery functions in October of this year as part of its drive to enhance its business infrastructure within Haneda Airport. These capabilities enable Nippon Express to leverage Haneda Airport's locational advantages and its own robust business infrastructure to offer these new import delivery services.
