DHL Express modernizes aircraft fleet, welcomes A330 freighters
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 June 2025 - DHL Express has marked a significant milestone in its Asia Pacific network operations with the completion of its re-fleeting program. With the arrival of its 14A330 freighter and the retirement of its last A300-600 freighter, DHL Express will now have a newer and modern fleet of A330 freighters operated and maintained by its strategic partner in the region, Air Hong Kong.Operated on behalf of DHL Express by Air Hong Kong, the A300-600F has served DHL Express's Asia Pacific network for the past two decades. It has played a crucial role in providing reliable intercontinental delivery services and contributed to consolidating Hong Kong's position as an international aviation hub. This fleet has successfully transported close to three million tons of express cargo over the years."Balancing our customers and operational needs has always been top of mind for us. Our decision to re-fleet aircraft years ago reflects our foresight to invest in ourselves so that we are ever-ready to support our customers," said Peter Bardens, Senior Vice President for Network Operations & Aviation – Asia Pacific, DHL Express. "The A300-600F was instrumental to our robust aviation network for many years. As we bid farewell to this valued member of our fleet, we are excited to welcome a new chapter with this new generation of freighters. We are confident that we will continue to deliver excellence in both our service capabilities and sustainability targets."Compared with the A300-600F, the newer A330F offers greater resilience and reliability for DHL Express's aviation network as it is more fuel efficient, has a longer range of 7,400 kilometers and has 25 percent more payload capacity. With a flexible cargo loading system, larger cargo enhanced floor panel and wide-body fuselage, the A330F can accommodate a variety of pallet sizes and containers, making it more adaptable than the A300F to operate in and cater to different markets."The A300-600F has been a stalwart of Air Hong Kong's fleet and an important part of our story for over two decades. Its contribution to not only our business, but to the Hong Kong international aviation hub as a whole, has been considerable and we fondly bid farewell to this valued member of our fleet as we enter this exciting new chapter," said Air Hong Kong Chief Operating Officer Clarence Tai."The new-generation A330F brings with it considerable benefits that will enable us to further enhance our operations and services for our customers, and continue to play an important role in the ongoing growth of Hong Kong's air cargo sector. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department, the Cathay Group, our people, our suppliers and our key customer, DHL, for their firm support which has made this re-fleeting plan possible."Air Hong Kong is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cathay Pacific Airways Limited. Its network has been fundamental to the DHL Express network in Asia Pacific.Hashtag: #DHLExpress #AirHongKong #NetworkOperations #Aviation

Grab fares topping US$1,000 stun Singapore ride-hailing users
Grab Holdings Ltd's ride-hailing app briefly showed fares in the hundreds or thousands of dollars early this afternoon. SINGAPORE : Singapore ride-hailing users got a rude shock today after prices on the most popular app jumped about a hundred times from the usual rates, with short trips within the city costing US$1,000 or more. Grab Holdings Ltd's ride-hailing app showed fares in the hundreds or thousands of dollars briefly early afternoon in its home base of Singapore, with users in Malaysia also reporting similar increases. A Grab spokesman attributed the elevated rates to a temporary display glitch. Fares went back to normal as of about 12.20pm Singapore time. Grab, which is backed by Uber Technologies Inc, is the leading ride provider in its home market and countries including Malaysia and Thailand. Uber left the region in 2018 in exchange for a stake in Grab, which is now locked in fierce competition against Indonesia's GoTo Group and other smaller rivals. 'We encountered a temporary system issue that led to abnormally high prices being wrongly displayed in our app,' Grab said in a statement. 'The issue has been resolved, and the app is now functioning as usual. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused,' it said.

Singapore's beloved indie cinema The Projector shuts after a decade as debts top S$1.2m
SINGAPORE, Aug 20 — The company behind indie cinema The Projector has disclosed debts of more than S$1.2 million ahead of a creditors' meeting on August 29. Pocket Cinema, which ran the cinema, listed 33 creditors including its own directors, shareholders and film distributors, The Straits Times reported today, citing an email it sighted to creditors. Among the biggest sums owed is S$382,888 to Overseas Movie (Private), while co-founders Karen Tan and Blaise Camille Trigg-Smith are owed over S$120,000 and S$100,000 respectively. The list also includes 2,295 members with unexpired subscriptions, who together are owed more than S$89,000. Unused tickets were also counted, with about S$14,300 in refunds pending, including one customer holding 16 tickets. The Projector, which abruptly closed on August 19 after more than a decade, blamed rising costs, changing viewing habits and global declines in cinema attendance. Its 10,000 sq ft space at Golden Mile Tower was recently listed for rent at S$33,000 a month before the closure was announced. The Straits Times cited from records it had seen showing that the company incorporated in 2014, made losses in the beginning but briefly turned a profit before financial statements ceased after 2017.
