Uni-top Airlines has launched a non-stop freighter flight from Liege to its Wuhan hub.

According to the Chinese carrier, the new flight is operated three times a week with a Boeing 747-400F, which has a capacity of approximately 110 tonnes.

The flight is being used by Chinese companies specializing in electronics, fashion and machine parts, as well as by European manufacturers of automobile parts, particularly from Germany and the UK.

The airline introduced a direct flight from Luxembourg to Wuhan on January 26, 2018.

Uni-top Airlines was established in 2008 and is the first Chinese private airline to independently operate long-haul freighters. The airline began operating three 747-200Fs from 2009 and currently has a fleet of seven Airbus A300-600Fs, three 747-200Fs and one 747-400F.
