ISLAMABAD - Chinese Airline launches new Air Cargo Route to Pakistan’s Karachi in order to enhance the trade activities with Pakistan commercial hub.
A new air freight route was launched on Monday linking Kunming, capital of China’s Yunnan Province, and Karachi, according to Kunming Changshui International Airport.
The all-cargo air route is operated by China’s YTO Express every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, mainly delivering cross-border e-commerce cargo.
It is the first international all-cargo air route launched by Yunnan Airport Group since the China (Yunnan) Pilot Free Trade Zone was established in August.
The newly launched Pak-China air freight route would play an important role in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as an efficient and convenient logistics channel for economic and trade exchanges between the two countries, according to the airport.
The group has 11 air freight routes linking the city with China’s coastal cities, India, Nepal, Vietnam, and other countries.
Karachi, as an industrial, commercial, trade and financial center, is Pakistan’s largest city and the national railway and aviation network center. Its superior geographical position makes it a major transportation link connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa.
