This marked the first new international all-cargo air route of the year at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport. Operated by Aeroflot-Russian Airlines, the route offers two flights per week, with a round-trip capacity of 50 metric tons.

Outbound flights primarily transport mail, general cargo, and cross-border e-commerce goods, while inbound flights focus on Russian specialties such as meat and alcoholic beverages.

Krasnoyarsk, located at the intersection of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Yenisei River, enjoys convenient regional transportation conditions and robust cargo distribution capabilities. The opening of the route will further enhance economic and trade exchanges between China and Russia.

Furthermore, on June 15, the Xi'an-Almaty international freight route resumed operations. With a capacity of 50 tons for round-trip flights, the route primarily serves local industries such as new energy vehicles and electronic information.

China West Airport Group has continued to expand and enhance air passenger and cargo routes between Xi'an and Central Asian cities, establishing a stable China-Central Asia regional air cargo transportation corridor.

This will further develop an air transport network centered around Xi'an, supporting local industrial development and contributing to the construction of an open economy in Shaanxi.
