China Cargo launches Miami freighter service
China Cargo Airlines is extending its relationship with Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the Sats Group, in North America with a new handling contract, marking the start of the first services of a Chinese airline to Miami.
The airline will launch three Boeing 777 freighter flights a week to Miami in January 2024 from Shanghai Pudong International Airport. China Cargo has awarded WFS a three-year contract to handle its cargo, including high volumes of e-commerce traffic, perishables, seafood, and general cargo.
WFS has supported China Cargo’s growth in Los Angeles since 2006. It now handles 18 freighter services a week for China Cargo in LAX. The airline also partnered with WFS again in November 2022, when it commenced all-cargo services to New York JFK, now served by seven freighter flights per week. (cj)
