RECENTLY launched JD Airlines has launched its inaugural international freighter route connecting China and Vietnam to cater for cross-border e-commerce demand
RECENTLY launched JD Airlines has launched its inaugural international freighter route connecting China and Vietnam to cater for cross-border e-commerce demand. The new service is run in partnership with airline services company CS and will operate three times per week using a Boeing 737-800BCF.
In China, the service will operate to Shenzhen, while in Vietnam it will call at Ho Chi Minh City, according to London's Air Cargo News.
'The route is optimized to primarily transport cross-border e-commerce parcels from China to Vietnam, while also facilitating the shipment of key agricultural exports - such as fruit and seafood - from Vietnam to China,' the e-commerce company said.
JD Airlines, formerly known as JD Logistics Airlines, received an air carrier certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CC) in September last year.
Over the last year, the airline has been concentrating on establishing an air cargo network connecting regions in the north, south, and east of China.
'With the launch of the inaugural flight between Shenzhen and Ho Chi Minh City, JD Airlines remains committed to expanding its global reach and enhancing its international transportation capabilities,' the company said.
'Plans are underway to explore additional international routes connecting to key markets in Southeast Asia, South Asia, South Korea, and Japan, among other regions.'
