China Cargo Airline Links U.S. Heartland with Shanghai

October 3, 2011
Aviation News Weekly

The first flight from China Cargo airline landed at St. Louis's Lambert International Airport Sept. 23 from Shanghai, marking the establishment of a link between China's financial hubs and the U.S. heartland. The once-weekly service is operated with a B777F, but both Chinese and U.S. officials have worked to establish the cargo route, and they are pressing for an increase to three times a week before the U.S. holiday season begins.

In other air cargo news, airports in Monterrey, Caracas and Buenos Aires were among the fastest-growing in cargo traffic last year, according to a Latin Business Chronicle analysis based on data from  the Airports Council International. Cargo traffic at Monterrey, the 20th-largest cargo airport in Latin America, grew 432% to 48,710 metric tons. Meanwhile, traffic at Caracas, the 14th-largest cargo airport, grew 39.6% to 85,655 metric tons. And the Jorge Newbery Airport in Buenos Aires, the 34th-largest cargo airport, grew at 38.3% to 18,945 metric tons.

While Airbus admits it concentrated on demand for passenger aircraft for 2011 to 2030, it insists that this did not indicate a lack of interest in the freighter market. It estimates that 927 new-build freighters will be needed over the next 20 years - a figure which is broadly consistent with Boeing's figure of 970 freighter aircraft in the same period.

The dedicated freight subsidiary of UAE carrier Emirates Airlines has launched a new link to the Far East and Australasia. The weekly service, operated with the new Boeing 777F freighter started Sept. 12. The service is flying the Dubai-Singapore-Sydney-Hong Kong-Dubai route, with additional connectivity to Emirates' wider cargo network from its Dubai hub.

Finally, Atlas Air's cargo operations will include nine 747-8Fs and 24 747-400 freighters by the end of 2013 as well as two passenger 747-400s and three passenger 767-300s providing charter service to the U.S. military and other customers. In addition, Atlas Air expects to operate at least 11 customer-owned aircraft in its crew, maintenance and insurance operations. These include four 747 Large Cargo Freighters for Boeing, five 767 freighters for DHL Express, and two additional 747-400 passenger aircraft for SonAir.
