Air China Cargo will begin new service between Beijing and DFW International Airport, Texas on June 17 with three weekly flights on B 747 freighters.

Air China Cargo currently services Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Oregon, Chicago and New York (JFK) in the U.S.

“Our new freighter flights to DFW open up the south of the United States to our clients and improve our service to our shippers, delivering access to new markets and dramatically cutting our delivery times," said Li Gengchen of Air China Cargo. "We see a great opportunity to get our products straight to the manufacturing and distribution points in the southern United States.

DFW is a major gateway for international cargo and shipped nearly 176,000 tons of Asian freight in 2005. The majority of DFW's cargo exports will be capital goods. Imports into DFW will consist primarily of industrial goods, high-technology equipment, apparel, and consumer electronics.

In 2005, China accounted for more than 66,000 tons of air cargo into the Dallas/Fort Worth customs district. China is DFW's largest air cargo trading partner, and the market has shown historic growth of 34.3 per cent annually since 1996.
