SF Airlines Inaugurates New Air Cargo Route Connecting Ezhou and Lahore

Ezhou, The Gulf Observer: SF Airlines, China’s largest air cargo carrier, announced the launch of a new air cargo route on Saturday, establishing a vital link between Ezhou Huahu Airport in central China’s Hubei Province and Lahore in Pakistan. Notably, this marks SF Airlines’ first international air cargo route initiated in the current year, departing from Ezhou Huahu Airport, recognized as China’s premier cargo-focused airport.

The Ezhou-Lahore cargo route is designed to operate three weekly round-trip air cargo flights, connecting Ezhou with the provincial capital city Lahore in Pakistan’s east Punjab province. With an anticipated capacity of around 300 tonnes of air express per week, this route aims to sustain logistics between China and Pakistan by providing efficient and stable air transport services.

Ezhou Huahu Airport, operational since July 2022, serves as a strategic cargo-focused hub with robust cargo traffic and limited passenger traffic. In April 2023, it initiated its first international cargo route.

SF Airlines, the aviation arm of SF Express, a prominent courier enterprise in China, has expanded its global reach by launching a total of 11 international cargo routes from Ezhou to destinations worldwide, further solidifying its position in the air cargo industry.
