Chicago Rockford International Airport strengthens Asian network with new DSV Incheon service

Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) has strengthened its growing Asian network following the launch of a new scheduled DSV freighter service connecting the airport with Incheon International Airport (ICN), South Korea.

The weekly flight builds on DSV's existing services to Shanghai Pudong International Airport, launched in November 2025, and Luxembourg Airport, launched in June 2026, and further strengthens RFD's position as a strategic cargo gateway connecting Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

"The launch of our Incheon service marks another important milestone in our long-term strategy to increase Rockford’s connectivity with Asia," said Zack Oakley, Executive Director, RFD.

"Together with our Shanghai and Luxembourg services, we offer reliable, scheduled connections linking the United States with Europe and Asia through a dedicated cargo airport built around speed, efficiency, and operational reliability.”

The flight will depart from RFD each Saturday.

"Incheon is one of Asia's most important cargo hubs, and with this new service, DSV can provide reliable capacity and connectivity via the network we are building through Rockford,” said Mohamed Siraj, VP Air Direct / Global Gateways, DSV.

“The airport has consistently demonstrated the operational reliability and flexibility needed to support scheduled international freighter services, making it a natural choice as we continue developing our air cargo operations.”

RFD and DSV plan to introduce a new scheduled service connecting Rockford with Chennai International Airport later this year.
