SF Express has expanded its international air cargo network with a new non-stop flight between Nanjing and Osaka.

According to SF, the new route will be operated as a charter flight every weekday by a Boeing 737-300F.

“Providing superior service has always been our promise to customers,” said David William Adams, CEO of the international business unit at SF Express. “The opening of the Nanjing-Osaka air cargo route further enriches our international air express transportation network. With the solid foundation of our air, ground and information system, we are able to provide an integrated logistics solution with comprehensive service for our customers, which makes our cross-border logistics capabilities more efficient and helps to create a better customer experience.”

Goods being transported by SF Express will be able to clear customs faster in both Nanjing and Osaka.

SF Express hopes to expand and improve its logistics network in China to provide first-mile and last-mile capabilities throughout the country, helping companies in the Yangtze River Delta expand overseas and foreign companies enter the Chinese market.

SF Airlines, the airline division of SF Express, operates a freighter fleet of more than 50 aircraft and recently acquired two 747 freighters through an online auction.
