Nanjing launches air cargo route to New York

A new air cargo service linking Nanjing, capital of East China's Jiangsu province, with New York was launched on Tuesday, Nanjing Customs said on Thursday. The cargo route aims to meet demand from enterprises in Nanjing and surrounding areas for the transport of exports to the Americas and to further expand the air transport network of the Yangtze River Delta region. Three round-trip cargo flights are scheduled for this route every week, with around 110 metric tons of full capacity. The outbound goods will be mainly cross-border e-commerce goods, while inbound goods will be primarily aquatic animal products such as Boston lobsters.
