Implementation effects

With 5-6 scheduled flights per day, there is a stable lead time.
Regular flight schedules ensure stable departure and arrival times. This makes it easier for customers to plan production and logistics, and reduces the burden of delivery date management.
One-stop arrangement from sea to land.
NX handles all rail and truck arrangements from the international port to the final destination. This eliminates the need for individual arrangements with multiple vendors, reducing arrangement time and communication costs.
Addressing the driver shortage problem
By replacing long-haul drayage from trucks to domestic shipping, we can address the driver shortage and maintain a stable transportation system.
