AIR China Cargo and Cainiao, the logistics
division of Alibaba Group, have created a new e-commerce freighter
service to enable faster delivery times between China and Europe.
Three flights will be operated each week from Hangzhou to Liege, with Madrid as a final destination, utilising B777F capacity.
Cainiao has established an eHub at Liege, thereby increasing its
operations at the airport. The company said it "aims to improve overall
logistics efficiency and expand its line-haul network in a bid to
deliver globally within 72 hours".
Meanwhile, Air China Cargo noted that its work with Cainiao at Liege is
its first direct cooperation with a cross-border e-commerce player. The
first flight took of on August 12, according to London's Air Cargo News.
"Cainiao's experience in the field of cross-border e-commerce logistics
is [proving] to be very complementarity with Air China Cargo's
airfreight network," the two companies said.
