ABC expands China service
AirBridgeCargo Airlines will extend its all-cargo services from China with a new twice-weekly Boeing 747-400 freighter flight from Zhengzhou to Europe.
Flights from the capital of Henan province depart from Zhengzhou International Airport every Wednesday and Saturday to ABC's hub in Moscow and then continue onto Frankfurt, Germany, connecting central China with Europe and Russia. ABC said it plans to increase frequencies to four B747 freighter flights per week by the end of the year.
The airline expects the service increase between Zhengzhou and global cargo markets will also benefit the development of neighboring Chinese cities such as Wuhan, Chongqing and Chengdu through increased access to air cargo capacity.
Since its start in 2004, ABC has steadily increased its presence in China, now offering twice-daily service to Shanghai, and daily flights to both Beijing and Hong Kong using its fleet of B747-400 freighters.
In cooperation with airport authorities, business partners and the local freight forwarding community, ABC said it would further enhance its air cargo services in central and western China by steadily increasing the frequency of its flights from Zhengzhou airport to daily in 2011.
