Atlas Air and Cainiao: one year later
Atlas Air, a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, has expanded its partnership with Cainiao Network, the logistics arm of Alibaba Group, to enhance overall shipping efficiency in response to the growth of cross-border trade between China and Latin America.
With the launch of daily flights, Cainiao’s weekly cargo volume from China to Latin America has increased 144% compared to last October, when there were only three chartered flights per week.
Under the expanded agreement, Atlas has added an additional B747-400F to fly between Hong Kong, China and Santiago, Chile. This brings the total dedicated fleet that Atlas operates for Cainiao to five aircraft. The successful collaboration between Atlas and Cainiao, was launched in October 2020. (cj)
