BEIJING, May 22 (Xinhua) — A cargo flight linking the cities of Urumqi and Tallinn opened on Wednesday, the Tianshan news portal reported.
The plane carrying 51 tons of parcels departed that day from Tianshan Airport in Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, and after a stop in Uzbekistan will arrive in the capital of Estonia in about 11 hours.
According to the plan, the Urumqi-Tallinn flight will be operated once a week.
The plane will deliver mainly clothing and other consumer goods sold through cross-border e-commerce to Estonia.
The launch of the new air route has filled a gap in air cargo transportation between Xinjiang and the Baltics, which will stimulate the export of textiles, clothing, electronics and other competitive goods made in China.
Currently, cargo flights connect Urumqi with 20 foreign cities, including 12 European ones. -0-
