The location will serve as a forward staging station for our Greenville, South Carolina-based own controlled flight operations, from which we fly two B76F flights per week to Shenyang, China, with a connection to Seoul, Korea, and five B74F return Maersk flights per week to Hahn, Germany.

The new facility is a Bonded Container Freight Station (CFS) with US Customs and features 39 dock doors as well as two huge drive-up ramps.
