The first air cargo route from China's eastern province of Jiangxi to Bangladesh officially opened on Tuesday.
An all-cargo plane carrying 55 tons of clothing and general merchandise departed from Nanchang City on Tuesday and headed for Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.
The route is set to operate two flights per week, mainly transporting general cargo, cross-border e-commerce goods and edible aquatic products, which can effectively meet the demand for air cargo from Jiangxi to the South Asian nation.
The opening of this air route is expected to give a boost to the trade between Jiangxi and South Asian countries, and also provide more convenient and efficient logistics services for the economic and trade cooperation between the province and the Belt and Road partner countries and regions.
