ANA to Launch New Narita-Beijing Route with Cargo Aircraft

On July 2, All Nippon Airways (ANA/NH) will launch a twice-weekly round-trip service between Narita and Beijing using a Boeing 767 cargo plane. This will be the first time for ANA to operate a dedicated cargo aircraft to Beijing to meet the demand for transportation of industrial equipment and parts from Japan, EC products, electronic equipment and medical equipment from China. The company is currently operating cargo flights with its nine 767 freighters and two large 777 freighters, and plans to operate more than 2,000 cargo flights in July, including those using passenger aircraft materials.
