TWO all-cargo air services have started operating between Xi'an, an ancient Chinese capital known for the Terracotta Warriors, and India's Chennai and Mumbai.
Both services are operated twice a week by Sichuan Airlines using an Airbus A330-200 freighter, with a maximum cargo capacity of 65 tonnes, reported Xinhua.
'In the past, goods imported from India had to be transshipped from other cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Incheon in the Republic of Korea or Thailand's Bangkok,' said head of the Xi'an branch of Shenzhen Andashun International Logistics Co Chen Yuhuan.
'The opening of the new routes will significantly improve efficiency and lower costs.'
