Together with excellent logistics companies, it aims to expand the value chain of air logistics through sales strategies and logistics service advancement, thereby strengthening the competitiveness of its global logistics business.

Additionally, as export volumes from Korea via Jin Air and transshipment demand through Incheon International Airport increase, Hanjin plans to secure space with global airlines to revitalize the air cargo GSA business and continuously expand global e-commerce volumes.

A Hanjin official stated, “Through this Jin Air GSA transportation contract, we will further strengthen our air logistics capabilities and continuously secure air logistics hubs overseas, including Southeast Asia, Japan, China, as well as China, the Americas, and Europe.”
