Air China Cargo B747-400 freighter aircraft took off from Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport heading to Frankfurt, Germany, via Shanghai's Pudong International Airport.
Air China's hub in Shanghai will provide transportation of cargo throughout the rest of the world by building a fast and convenient air corridor for the rapid shipment of goods to and from Dalian. Furthermore, the introduction of the route plays an important role in promoting Dalian as both an international shipping center and an international logistics center in Northeast Asia, as well as the region's financial center.
With Air China Cargo's network, cargo in Dalian can also be effectively transported to North America, Japan, the Asia Pacific and other locations. Prior to the plane taking off, representatives from Air China and the Dalian government held a brief ceremony to commemorate the route's first flight.
Through positive communication and close partnership between Air China Cargo and the Dalian municipal government, as well as strong support from Dalian Airport, Customs, and Commodity Inspections, the freight capacity shortage problem between Dalian and Europe was able to be resolved through the opening of Air China Cargo's Dalian-Shanghai-Frankfurt freighter route. The route is to be flown three times a week by B747-400 cargo planes that fly out every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Located at the intersection of the Northeast Asian Economic Circle and Bohai Economic Circle, Dalian is an important industrial base in northern China, and also an important foreign trade port and the northeast region's largest shipment transportation hub. Europe and Japan account for a large proportion of Dalian's air cargo market. However, due to the lack of local wide-body freighter capacity, much of the cargo bound for the Americas and Europe have to first be transported by truck to Beijing or Tianjin; or be shipped to South Korea before being loaded onto planes. That method of cargo transportation not only wastes time but is also very risky and decreases the shipping efficiency of local goods. As such, the successful opening of the route will help resolve the shortage of cargo flights between Dalian and Europe.
Air China Cargo currently owns nine Boeing 747-400 aircraft---the largest fleet of Boeing 747 freighter planes of any airline operating in China's civil aviation industry. The airline has opened cargo flights to Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Paris,
Milan, Vienna, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Chinese Taipei, Tokyo, and Osaka (in chronological order) that depart from Shanghai. Moreover, the airline has exclusive rights to use the belly space in 280 of Air China's passenger aircraft. By utilizing Air China's global network, Air China Cargo ships to 138 destinations in 29 countries on nearly 300 routes. Additionally, the passenger aircraft and freighter's belly space network is backed up by 622 truck routes so as to ensure the rapid transportation of goods around the world.
