New Pak-China air cargo route launched
Pakistan Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi, said that the new cargo route between Pakistan and China is an important driver for trade between the countries and is a significant step forward in bilateral connectivity spectrum.
“A welcome development and an important driver for trade between Pakistan and China,” he said in a statement. Hashmi said, four airlines with several weekly commercial flights were already operating between both countries. The new air cargo route was launched last week linking Ezhou Huahu Airport in central China’s Hubei Province with Lahore.

The Ezhou-Lahore cargo route is the first international air cargo route launched by SF Airlines in this year. It is planned to operate three times a week, providing over 300 tonnes of air transport capacity from Ezhou to Lahore every week. The transported goods mainly include textiles, 3C electronic products, electronic equipment, etc.
The opening of this international cargo route will provide an efficient and stable air logistics channel for economic and trade exchanges between China and Pakistan, and provide more logistics convenience for Chinese brands to explore the Pakistani market.
