The inaugural flight, fully loaded with cross-border e-commerce goods, departed from the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport on Monday.
Operated by Guangzhou Daking Scm Chain Management Co., Ltd., the new freighter service cuts transit time to 18 hours, saving five hours compared to previous connecting routes, and allowing same-day or next-day delivery.
The air cargo route currently operates one scheduled flight per week, with plans to increase frequency as cargo demand grows. The move is expected to significantly boost cross-border e-commerce logistics, according to the company.
The company is based in Guangzhou's Nansha District, where cross-border e-commerce has seen rapid growth, with trade volume skyrocketing from 20 million yuan (about 2.8 million U.S. dollars) in 2014 to 46 billion yuan in 2024.
The company said that the launch of this air route marks a strategic move to optimize its U.S. market presence, enabling more cross-border e-commerce businesses to export goods and better meet consumer demand in the United States.
