A new cargo air route has been opened between the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen and Sao Paulo, Brazil. The route will boost e-commerce trade between the two countries. Launched by Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport and Cainiao Network, the route will operate two flights weekly using Atlas Air's Boeing 747 all-cargo aircraft.

The maiden flight, which carried 100 tonnes of e-commerce products, took off on Sunday. Cross-border businesses in Shenzhen and surrounding cities can now deliver products to Brazilian consumers in just over a week, said Chinese media reports quoting the Shenzhen airport.

The Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport has cooperated with airlines and logistics operators to open new cross-border air routes, with the volume of air transportation of cross-border products up by 70 per cent year on year.
