CHINA'S northern City of Yinchuan has started a cargo charter flight service to Central Asia, which is expected to raise Yinchuan airport's international air freight annual throughput from 200 tonnes to 4,000 tonnes, and bring an extra US$300 million's trade value to the Ningxia Autonomous Region.
The service is jointly operated by the UK-based air cargo charter service provider Chapman Freeborn, which rented an Airbus 300 freighter from Uzbekistan Airways and offers two to four flights per week.
Each flight can carry up to 40 tonnes, flying from Uzbekistan to Ningxia's capital of Yinchuan, then on to Kazakhstan and back to Uzbekistan.
The service has attracted transshipments from northern, northwestern and northeastern China, and become a new international transport route in Ningxia. It is bound to boost trade between Ningxia and Central Asian countries, said Xinhua.
