A new air freight route linking Urumqi n northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and Islamabad in Pakistan officially opened on Tuesday, as a plane carrying 2.57 metric tonnes cross-border e-commerce cargo left Diwopu International Airport for Pakistan with a flight duration of about 2.4 hours.

The new cargo route will further boost the development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and promote economic and trade exchanges between the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) partner countries. Two to four flights are scheduled on this route every week, providing more than 26 metric tonnes of air-cargo delivery capacity per week.
