Cargo airline starts Zhengzhou-Delhi service

Henan's largest cargo airline starts Zhengzhou-Delhi service

THE newly-established Zhengzhou Airport Logistics Development Co., Ltd., which is also the largest cargo airline in central China's Henan province, has started a service from the provincial capital of Zhengzhou to Delhi in India using a A300 freighter.

This was also the maiden flight of the air cargo carrier since it was officially founded on August 31, said Xinhua News Agency.

Zhengzhou Airport Logistics Development has a registered capital of CNY50 million (US$6.6 million). Its majority shareholder is Henan's local logistics company Linde Group.

The carrier also plans to launch Zhengzhou-Europe-Africa service via Parchim Airport, which is Linde Group's air operations base located in northern Germany, close to Hamburg and Berlin.

Linde Group bought 100 per cent stake of Parchim Airport including its land, assets, all equipment and installations in May and became the first Chinese company to acquire the permanent operating rights to an airport in Europe.
