New Shenzhen-Doha air freight route; goods train links Shaanxi, Laos

The air freight route is operated by Qatar Airways Boeing 777 all-cargo aircraft, with one round-trip flown each week. It has brought the number of air cargo flights linking Shenzhen with the Middle East to seven a week. The Shenzhen airport has to date opened international air-freight lines reaching 35 destinations.

The train to Vientiane departed from the city of Baoji and will exit China via the Mohan Port in the country's southwest Yunnan province, and the journey will take seven days, according to the China Railway Xi'an Group Co. Ltd.

"With international freight trains plying on the China-Laos Railway, goods can be delivered to Vientiane quickly and conveniently following the integrated customs declaration and acceptance in Baoji comprehensive bonded zone," Liu Haitao, deputy general manager of the cargo supplier in Baoji, was quoted as saying by a news agency.

This would effectively help enterprises to accurately connect with the ASEAN international market and achieve high-quality development, Liu added.

The China-Laos Railway, which started operation on December 3, 2021, stretches over 1,000 km, linking Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province, with the Laotian capital Vientiane.
