Sinotrans and Guangzhou Baiyun Airport sign transshipment deal

SINOTRANS recently signed a transshipment agreement with Guangzhou Baiyun Airport Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Airport Management Group, Xinhua reported.

According to the agreement, Sinotrans will provide transshipments to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and promote it among overseas carriers.

Sinotrans will contribute seven per cent of the airport's international cargo volume, estimated at more than 15,000 tons this year and 20,000 tons in 2008, said the report.

To speed up its development process towards becoming an air cargo hub, the airport has built relations with big forwarders like Schenker, Cosco Air Service and the Hong Kong's U-Freight Holdings.
