Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 6 (Reporter Wang Yuhao) – Reporters learned from the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing (CFLP) on July 6 that China opened 92 new international air cargo routes nationwide in the first half of the year, adding more than 210 weekly round-trip flights.
Breakdown by region, the new routes consist of 41 Asian routes, 38 European routes, 11 North American routes, 1 South American route and 1 African route. The cargo mix is dominated by cross-border e-commerce goods, high-end manufactured products, high-value-added goods, electronic products and auto parts.
A relevant official from the Air Logistics Branch of CFLP stated that China has continuously accelerated the development of its international air cargo network since the beginning of this year. Air carriers have intensified their layout on core Eurasian corridors and steadily expanded cargo services on transoceanic and long-haul routes. Cargo volumes are increasingly concentrated on time-sensitive and high-value-added products, and the air cargo hub network connecting the whole world is becoming increasingly sound.
