China launched 20 new international air cargo routes in July, said the Air Cargo Branch of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) on Tuesday.
As of July 31, a total of 137 new international freight routes were added this year, increasing the number of round-trip flights per week by 274, said the branch.
These new routes primarily lead to Asian and European countries, with 65 ones to Asia and 52 to Europe.
Cargo transported through the new routes primarily includes goods handled by cross-border e-commerce platforms, high-end manufacturing goods, electronic products, and auto parts.

Thousands of demonstrators marched through London on Saturday, protesting Israel's military operations in Gaza and urging the British government to stop supplying weapons to Israel.
Some roads in central London have been closed to make way for the demonstrators. Participants waved Palestinian flags and held signs with slogans such as "End the Genocide" and "Sanction Israel."
They demanded that the British government halt arms supplies to Israel, while calling for the liberation of Palestine and an end to the military operations in Gaza.
Some demonstrators stood in a row, wearing panels embroidered with the names of those killed in the Gaza conflict hanging on their chests in hopes that this would help convey the true cruelty of war.
"I'm here today to display this panel that I made, which contains the [names] of 182 people who have been killed in Gaza. The UK government should immediately stop arming Israel. They should apply sanctions according to international law," said Ghislaine, a local protester.
