SF Airlines has increased its international presence with flights on a Shenyang – Changchun – Ulan Bator – Shenyang route.

The airline says the Boeing 757-200 Freighter flights will offer favourable air logistics for cross-border e-commerce cooperation between China and Mongolia as part of the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’.

It says existing advantages of Shenyang and Changchun, and freight sources of Ulan Bator are expected to be further developed and integrated, bringing new business development opportunities.

The new route continues the network expansion seen in 2017 including Changsha – Ho Chi Minh City flights starting on 2 December, Hohhot – Hangzhou on 31 October, and Dalian – Hangzhou services on 28 March.

SF Airlines ended 2017 with the 41st aircraft joining its fleet, and successfully acquiring two Boeing 747-400 Freighters at an online auction.
