The amalgamation of services comes 18 months after SIA Cargo purchased a 16-percent stake in the Chinese freight carrier.
Zhu Yimin, president of China Cargo Airlines, said that the joint services will enable SIA Cargo and China Cargo Airlines to "tap into each other's networks" via their respective hubs in Singapore and Shanghai. For SIA Cargo, this means better connectivity to domestic China, he said, while China Cargo Airlines will benefit from better access to Africa, Australia, Latin America and the Middle East via SIA Cargo's routings.
