Hainan Airlines started air truck intermodal at Beijing

MAINLAND China's largest private air carrier Hainan Airlines has started a door-to-door air truck intermodal service from Beijing to north eastern city Changchun and Shenyang, Xinhua reported.

The first batch of cargo, weighing 2,500 kilogrammes, was transported to Changchun via the new service after flying from Hangzhou to Beijing.

As the domestic air transportation network does not evenly cover every city, shippers in some small cities with less air services available have to seek freight forwarders to carry their cargo to larger air hubs. Hainan Airlines is setting its foot in this market to vie with the domestic freight forwarders.
