NANJING, Dec 1 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- A new all-cargo air route connecting Nanjing in east China and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, commenced operations on Sunday, marking an expansion of Nanjing's global freight network, reported Xinhua.
Operated by Malaysia's Raya Airways, a B767-200 freighter carrying more than 38 tonnes of goods departed Nanjing Lukou International Airport for Kuala Lumpur on a flight of just over five hours.
Outbound flights primarily transport textiles, electronic components and cross-border e-commerce goods, while inbound flights are set to carry fresh Southeast Asian produce like mud crabs and frozen fish.
Nanjing Lukou International Airport, located in Jiangsu Province, currently operates seven international all-cargo routes, including services to Amsterdam, Mexico City and Seoul.
The new Kuala Lumpur route is expected to strengthen Nanjing's air cargo connectivity with Southeast Asia and will provide a more efficient logistics channel for cross-border e-commerce businesses in Nanjing and nearby regions.
