Sat 27 November 2021:
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in South China has launched its first intercontinental air cargo route, connecting the regional capital of Nanning with Lima, Peru’s capital.
A cargo aircraft loaded with 45 tons of commodities and operated by a Kyrgyz flight company, on Thursday took off from Nanning Wuxu International Airport and left for Peruvian capital Lima 20,000 miles away, marking the first intercontinental air freight route opened in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Three schedules are planned for the pilot intercontinental freight route, which fall on Nov. 25, Nov. 29 and Dec. 4 (Beijing Time) respectively, with cargo mainly comprising China-made COVID-19 antigen detection reagents to help the pandemic fight across South America.
The outbound goods are mostly antigen test kits for COVID-19, which will aid South American countries in their fight against the pandemic.
As of Wednesday, the Nanning Wuxu International Airport had handled 18,300 tonnes of international cargo and mail this year, representing an increase of nearly 97 percent year on year.
