THE logistics arm of Alibaba Group, Cainiao, has partnered Atlas Air to launch a new air freight route connecting China to Colombia to further enhance freight stability in Latin America.
The 747-8F plane, with capacity of 133 tonnes of cargo, will depart Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and transit in Miami International Airport, with final destination at El Dorado International Airport in Bogota, Colombia.
The air freight route will be further optimized and upgraded to include transit in Sao Paulo, Brazil, flying a Hong Kong -Miami - Sao Paulo - Bogota route which will shorten flight duration to only 37 hours.
cainiao has increased its charter flights to Latin America to eight per week. Together with the development of Cainiao's logistics facilities in Latin America, cross-border e-commerce parcels from Chinese merchants will see a 76 per cent improvement in delivery time, from up to 50 days to as fast as 12 days.
The Boeing 747-8 freighter is the most capable, technologically advanced and environmentally friendly widebody freighter. It provides a maximum payload of 133 tonnes, 20 per cent higher than that of Boeing 747-400 freighters, with 16 per cent lower fuel consumption than the 747-400F.
