China Southern Airlines launched its third scheduled freighter service from Guangzhou to Europe.
The new service to Frankfurt operates three times a week using a Boeing 777-200F. Flights depart every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
The Guangzhou-Frankfurt-Guangzhou service will provide 270 tonnes capacity per week. The import and export cargo between China and Germany is mostly high value-added cargo such as machinery and precision instruments.
China Southern will receive two more B777 freighters in the second half of 2013.
