United Cargo launches San Francisco-Chengu flights

6/11/2014 9:04:21 AM

United Cargo has launched non-stop service between its San Francisco hub and Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province in southwest China and is the country's fourth-largest city. Chengdu's emergence as a hi-tech manufacturing centre makes it one of China's fastest-developing cities economically, and more than half of the Fortune 500 companies have a presence in the city. United's three-times-weekly Boeing 787 service is not only the first service by a US airline in Chengdu, but the first non-stop service by any airline between the US and mainland China beyond Beijing and Shanghai. Chengdu is the ninth destination in the Asia Pacific region served by United. United provides more non-stop transpacific flights from San Francisco than any other US carrier offers from any other US airport. United operates the largest hub on the US West Coast at San Francisco with nearly 300 daily flight departures. This includes 260 daily departures to 70 domestic US cities as well as an extensive trucking network for transferring wide-body shipments.   Cargonews Asia
