SF AIRLINES LAUNCHES CHINA-PAKISTAN AIR CARGO ROUTE
January 15, 2024

SF Airlines has launched a new air cargo route linking Ezhou Huahu Airport in central China's Hubei Province with Lahore in Pakistan.

 

The Ezhou-Lahore cargo route is the first international air cargo route launched by SF Airlines this year, departing from Ezhou Huahu Airport, China's first cargo-focused airport.

 

Three weekly round-trip air cargo flights are scheduled between Ezhou and the provincial capital city, Lahore of Pakistan's east Punjab province.

 

SF Airlines said this new route will bring a total of around 300 tonnes of air express capacity per week, sustaining logistics between China and Pakistan with efficient and stable air transport services.

 

The Ezhou Huahu Airport, which began operations in July 2022, is a cargo-focused hub airport with extensive cargo traffic and some passenger traffic. In April 2023, it opened its first international cargo route.

 

SF Airlines, the aviation branch of courier enterprise SF Express — is China's largest air cargo carrier in fleet size. To date, the carrier has launched a total of 11 international cargo routes from Ezhou to global destinations.
