Billund Airport in Denmark Was the Chosen Location for the Maersk Air Cargo Freight Hub.

The Maersk, a global giant in logistics, announced that it will have its own air transport network with owned and leased aircraft, just like the structure that the company has in its ocean fleet. The air logistics solutions service is called Maersk Air Cargo and aims to further increase the company’s presence in the global cargo sector. The hub will be at Billund Airport in Denmark.

According to the company, the capacity to be fed by Maersk Air Cargo has been designed to make supply chain journeys more “resilient and intuitive.” By combining maritime, land, and storage and customs services, the trend is to drive the supply chain in various ways.

Maersk’s ambition is for one-third of its annual air tonnage to be transported within this own controlled freight network. The remaining capacity will be supplied by strategic commercial carriers and charter flight operators, which are those that do not follow the regular airline schedules. The expectation is that Maersk Air Cargo will be fully operational by the second half of 2022.

The air freight company Star Air has transferred its operations to Maersk Air Cargo. Thus, five aircraft were transferred, including two B777F models and three B767-300 freighters. Three new B767-300 freighters are also expected to be added. Maersk expects that by 2024 all these aircraft will be operational.

The presence of Maersk Air Cargo at Billund Airport is expected to favor the growth of the business community in Western Denmark. The airport’s CEO, Jan Hessellund, expresses pride in the project’s presence.

“We have seen growth, we challenged the pandemic, and we established a new record year in cargo in 2021. This does not happen without good partners, and we do what we can to make our partners good. Now, Maersk Air Cargo steps onto the stage at Billund Airport and elevates it a bit. We are incredibly proud to be chosen as Maersk’s European hub for air freight and look forward to developing the collaboration to new heights.”

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

The duel between Shein and Temu gained a new chapter in London, with accusations of mass copying, a dispute over suppliers, and an impact on global fast-fashion.

Costing R$ 57,676 and with a range of up to 815 km, the Volkswagen up! TSI 2018 gets 16.3 km/l on the highway and can be financed with estimated installments of R$ 1,314.

Piauí may receive unprecedented solar technology in Brazil with giant mirrors and thermal storage, in a 100 MW project that aims to store solar heat to generate energy even after nightfall.

A Raia: the giant border between Portugal and Spain, which is 1,214 km long, features a bridge of only 6 meters, and has over 700 years of history.

Scientists pour 10 tons of cement into an abandoned anthill in Brazil and reveal an “underground city” with tunnels, chambers, and ventilation built by millions of ants.

The 17-meter, 20-ton monster that the US built in 1939 to dominate Antarctica — and that could only move by driving in reverse: the Snow Cruiser cost US$150,000 and was abandoned forever.

China completes the world’s largest diameter underwater tunnel under the Yellow River: 17.5 meters in diameter, two levels, six lanes, and a 163-meter TBM named Shanhe.

Brazil’s largest highway receives 20.3 kilometers of new lanes on BR-116/RS, expands the stretch between Porto Alegre and Novo Hamburgo, and promises smoother traffic for 140,000 vehicles per day.
