TOKYO: Japan-based forwarder, Yusen Logistics, has reached into Southeast Asia, opening its own import operation at Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport in Jakarta. Now the company will be able to handle imports more efficiently, from the time they arrive at the airport to delivery to the customer.
Services Yusen will offer in Jakarta include freight status tracking at the airport’s bonded area, customs clearance and supervised vehicle loading. The operation has mainly been developed to improve service for urgent delivery requirements.
Halim Airport is located close to the East Jakarta Industrial Zone, a base for a large number of Japanese companies, located about nine miles southeast of Central Jakarta.
Customers located in the industrial zone will now benefit from greatly reduced delivery times, as road transportation from Halim Airport takes between one and a half to four and a half hours less, depending on traffic, than transportation from Jakarta’s main airport, Soekarno-Hatta Internatonal Airport.
