NEWS FLASH
Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport welcomed the first scheduled cargo service from Urumqi over the weekend, which will be maintained by China’s YTO Cargo Airlines. Operated twice per week with Boeing 757-200 freighter jets, the flights will be maintained with the routing Urumqi - Aktobe (Kazakhstan) - Belgrade - Urumqi. The new cargo service carries primarily e-commerce goods (products purchased by consumers online) as well as auto parts. The first flight (pictured below) was loaded with 24.7 tons of cargo.
Commenting on the new route, the Xinjiang Airport Group, which operates Urumqi Airport, said, “In 2024, trade exchange between China and Serbia reached seven billion euros. As a strategic transport and trade hub bridging East Asia and Europe, Belgrade plays a central role in this dynamic. The launch of a dedicated international cargo route between Urumqi and Belgrade marks a major step forward in enhancing China - Europe trade connectivity. This new service significantly shortens transit times between Xinjiang region and Serbia, lowers logistics costs and boosts transportation efficiency. It also strengthens access to Serbia’s market and those of its neighbouring countries, supporting smoother international trade flows along the Belt and Road corridor”.
24.7 tons of cargo was loaded in Belgrade or to Belgrade?
ReplyDeleteTo Belgrade obviously. Serbia isn't exporting e commerce products to China.
DeleteWhat are they bringing back to China from Serbia, that is more important question?
DeleteMost likely, it is empty on the way to China. The small amount that we are exporting goes with JU
DeleteSmall amount? Serbia exports 2 billion euros (or dollars) worth products.
DeleteNo, Serbia's export to China is something less than 1.5 billion dollars, and is mostly made out of ores and raw materials which do not go by plane, which is not so developed export
DeleteИнформишете се! Србија и Кина су потписале уговор о слободној трговини.
DeleteSo?
DeleteSo, now we have YTO, CargoAir (DHL), Sprint air and Swift air flying to Belgrade? And sometimes Turkish cargo
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteAnd Camex
DeleteI Camex za Tbilisi
DeleteIs Camex scheduled service?
DeleteTK Cargo is also scheduled, once per week
DeleteThat will boost orders from Temu, Shine....
ReplyDeleteThey are already through the roof. It will make them arrive quicker :)
DeleteAliExpress!
DeleteProbably for Temu :)
ReplyDeletewow nice
ReplyDeleteDuring last week Turkish Cargo was on BEG twice with A332F
DeleteIf I am not wrong, Turkish Cargo A330-200 freighter was two times in Belgrade in past 10 days.
ReplyDeleteAlso there is Camex for Tbilisi with B738.
Finally... So far they were letting Budapest to have all the cargo traffic from China to central Europe.
ReplyDeleteHow are "they" letting Budapest have all the cargo from China to central Europe when three airlines already fly nonstop from Belgrade to four destinations in China, all of them cargo capable?
Delete3 destinations, but the point is valid
DeleteJust turn on flight radar at night and check the number of cargo 747 to BUD.
DeleteNot the same as "letting Budapest to have all the cargo traffic".
DeleteWell, now they have most of it, due to BEG's inaction.
DeleteWe only hear about passenger figures, but cargo is no less important.
Are you capable of understanding the meaning of the word "all" used by @11:50? Get help.
DeleteI wonder what percentage of cargo in BEG is done by YU. They are in unique position to deliver cargo to Russia and to a lot of ExYu destinations.
ReplyDeleteVery little I think because they don t do any marketing of those capabilities and second is that there is a massive direct air traffic between China and Russia.
Deletein BEG, JU Cargo has like 41% share. That is not very little
DeleteI can just hear
ReplyDeleteLAŽOVI, SVI STE VI LAŽOVI!
maxi4492 +1000 - they hate hearing good news
DeleteHaha "lazovi svi ste lazovi" is actually from one of the annoying Temu adds constantly played in Serbia. And when I say constantly I mean CONSTANTLY.
DeleteSerbia could send by cargo plums, berries and other agro products. There is a high demand in China and the rate of return is very good. The tech to keep it fresh exists.
ReplyDeleteThis is the Chinese actively looking to distribute their exports to places other than the US.
