LOGISTICS firm eurus Express has launched a new regular freighter flight from Haikou to Milan in partnership with Menzies Aviation to cater for e-commerce demand.
The charter flight will be operated by Georgian Airlines using a Boeing 767-300 freighter between Haikou Meilan International Airport and Milan Malpensa.
Menzies Aviation will provide cargo handling services in both Haikou and Milan.
The flight is the Chinese city's first-ever direct cargo link to Milan, according to London's Air Cargo News.
The Haikou-headquartered logistics firm said that the new service would cater for e-commerce demand into Europe.
Meanwhile, Haikou's role as a free trade zone and travel destination means it plays a crucial role in importing luxury and duty-free goods from Milan to the growing consumer market in Southern China.
Offshore duty-free spending has skyrocketed in the city of Haikou, which hosts the largest stand-alone duty-free shop in the world.
Looking ahead, Eurus said it plans to increase flight frequency from Haikou and add new destinations worldwide to meet the rising demand for efficient cross-border trade.
'As China's leading free port city, Haikou is a major importer of luxury and duty-free goods from across the world. Introducing a direct air cargo route to the fashion capital of Milan is set to bring about economic opportunities for both cities,' Eurus said in a LinkedIn post.
