Shenzhen has a population of more than 17 million people and is an important technology, research, manufacturing and financial hub, and a major transportation port.
It is a major exporter of high-tech products as well as e-commerce, fashion, healthcare and general cargo.
Vitaliy Andreev, General Director of Atran Airlines says: “Our decision to introduce connection between Shenzhen and Cologne/Bonn goes in line with our network expansion strategy and follows the needs of our Asian customers amid growing volumes of various types of cargo.
“This is the second flight out of China we are offering to Cologne which serves as an excellent alternative EU gateway for many Chinese exporters. Our customer could benefit from direct links out of Xi’an and Shenzhen.”
