Direct Cargo Flight Links Hefei, Hanoi

An international direct cargo flight has been launched between Hefei, capital of East China's Anhui province and Vietnam's Hanoi, the Anhui Civil Airport Group Co. has said.

The flight, operated on a Boeing 737 cargo aircraft by Longhao Aviation Group, makes three round trips every week. It has a carrying capacity of 15 tonnes.

The launch of the flight will boost the transport efficiency between China's inland provinces and densely-populated regions in Southeast Asia, according to the airport group.

Hefei also launched a regular direct cargo flight to Chicago on Sept 21.
