The carrier intends to operate the flights on a weekly basis to Vnukovo International Airport in Moscow, where it is based.
The maiden flight, which was operated on August 8, lifted almost 15 tonnes of e-commerce-related consolidated cargo. ATRAN is planning to deploy both types of its freighters (namely Boeing 737-400SF and Boeing 737-800BCF) to guarantee high quality services for its customers and final consignees, who expect on-time delivery of their online purchases.
With Shijiazhuang being the capital of Hebei Province and neighbouring Beijing and Tianjin to the north, the city covers the catchment area of North China. After the booming growth of e-commerce and its penetration across first tier cities of China, second tier cities, likes of Xi’an and Shijiazhuang, are now becoming active players and are accumulating traffic to Russia.
