Two air cargo routes launched from China to Belgium, Hungary

Two new all-cargo international routes, connecting northwest China’s Shaanxi Province to the Belgian city of Liege and Budapest, the capital of Hungary, took flight last week, marking a significant boost to trade and cultural exchanges between China and Europe. The two routes will operate two round-trip flights weekly from Xi’an, the provincial capital of Shaanxi, with 104 flights per year. The route is expected to bring about 6,000 tonnes of international cargo to Xi’an annually. Hungary is located in central Europe, and its capital, Budapest, is the country’s primary political, commercial and transportation hub as well as its largest city. Meanwhile, the launch of the Xi’an-Liege cargo route has also established a key link. Liege is one of Europe’s major air cargo hubs, offering round-the-clock freight services and playing a vital role in facilitating trade and cultural exchanges between China and Europe, as per a report.
