Copenhagen, JAN 30, 2003 (newstodate): Singapore Airlines Cargo disclosed on Thursday that the new thrice-weekly flight to new destinations in China, Xiaman and Nanjing, will continue to Chicago.
Chinese uplift capacity is unable to fully satisfy the demands of the booming Chinese export industry, paving the way for granting traffic rights between China and the USA to SIA Cargo.
SIA will get additional capacity by the delivery of SIA's 12th B747-400 freighter with 110 tonnes freight capacity.
Singapore Airlines Cargo already operates four weekly freighter services between Shanghai and Singapore, in addition to bellyhold capacity on Singapore Airlines' 42 weekly flights to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Two of the new China-USA flights will return from Chicago via Brussels and Copenhagen respectively, before continuing to Singapore via Sharjah. The third flight will return from Chicago via Nanjing.
In addition, a flight from Los Angeles will be re-routed to provide a second weekly Nanjing-Singapore service.
