The Chinese company provides cross-border e-commerce services, including fulfilment and customised supply chain solutions through its sub-brands, YunExpress, Elogistics and Worldtech, and is connecting Shenzhen with Paris to increase Sino-European trade.
The 777F service will provide 15,000 tonnes of annual cargo capacity and the Group plans to add a second 777F to the Shenzhen-Paris services in Q3 of this year, increasing the frequency to 6-8 flights per week and the capacity to 28,000 tonnes per annum.
WFS is providing ramp and cargo handling services for the flights, which are operated by Zongteng Group in collaboration with Central Airlines.
Laurent Bernard, VP Cargo France at WFS, says, “The strong growth in demand for cross-border e-commerce capacity from China to Europe requires more cargo capacity as well as the support of fast and reliable handling on the ground in order to meet customers’ service expectations. We are confident this partnership between Zongteng and WFS will deliver these high service standards.”
