With yesterday’s launch of Tianjin operations, Great Wall Airlines becomes the first carrier to offer direct scheduled all cargo flights to Europe from Tianjin.
Based in Shanghai Pudong Airport, Great Wall Airlines currently operates a fleet of three B747-400 freighters, with a network covering the major cargo hubs of Amsterdam, Manchester and Dubai.
The new cargo flights will operate five times per week; three routing PVG-TSN-AMS and two routing PVG-TSN-AMS-MAN.
According to company president Mr Tan Kai Ping, the carrier plans to announce the launch of services to the US later this year.
