A China Cargo scheduled flight from Shanghai to St. Louis was postponed this week for the third week running, according to a report in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The report said soft airfreight volumes out of China were the reason for the cancelled flights, with airlines pulling service on unproven routes, such as the fledgling one to Lambert International Airport.
Missouri lawmakers were reported to be considering approval of subsidies to help pay for the freight services, but adjourned a special session before deciding on the subsidies.
China Cargo is a joint venture between China Eastern Airlines and the China COSCO Group.
