On the morning of September 23, 2021, the ""Hong Kong = Anchorage = Los Angeles"" international cargo route of Umex Air Cargo (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ""Umex Air"") was successfully opened and operated.
This is the first international route launched by Umex Air in Hong Kong since its launch in 2021.
It is reported that the goods shipped on this flight are mainly household products, electronic equipment parts, cross-border e-commerce bulk trade commodities exported from Hong Kong, etc.
In the face of many inconveniences such as the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, severe typhoon weather, and limited service support capabilities of Hong Kong International Airport,Umex Air made every effort to follow the latest regulations on epidemic prevention and control of the SAR government and the operation situation of Hong Kong International Airport, and fully coordinated and cooperated with relevant units. Finally, the ""Hong Kong=Anchorage=Los Angeles"" route was officially opened for operation.
The opening and operation of this international freight route will help speed up the opening of import and export air logistics channels for Chinese local enterprises, and can also provide assistance for the construction of the international air logistics supply chain system.
Umex Air's ""Hong Kong = Anchorage = Los Angeles"" route uses an A333 passenger-to-cargo aircraft with a capacity of up to 53 tons. It is operated by Hifly Airlines, a partner of Umex Air, with three flights per week,it can provide nearly 159 tons of air cargo capacity from Hong Kong to Los Angeles every week, which is conducive to the bulk transportation of bulk trading commodities.
Compared with the air cargo mode that carries cargo through the belly hold of passenger aircraft, this flight has a larger load capacity, and its transportation mode has more advantages in timeliness and stability, which helps corporate customers improve cargo transfer efficiency and reduce freight costs.
As the youngest airline among China's three major airlines with international logistics transportation qualifications, Umex Air is the contract partner of the famous airline Hi Fly LTD.
The route network can cover more than 170 countries and regions around the world, and the business scope has achieved global coverage.
The company's main businesses include: ACMI, Charter, AOC, air rights approval and other aviation-related businesses.
Since its establishment, the company has been committed to the development of international air transport.
There are currently 4 ERJ145s and 1 Phenom 300 light business jet. We have negotiated and confirmed the procurement, leasing, and modification projects of 20 ERJ aircraft suitable for short-distance air transportation.
As of October 2021, the fleet size has increased to 5 aircraft.
Currently, Umex Air is actively planning to open Shenyang-Anchorage-Vancouver, Guangzhou-Khabarovsk-Anchorage-New York, Hong Kong-Anchorage-New York and other international cargo routes to further expand the route radiation range. .
Umex Air will continue to pay attention to epidemic prevention and control, based on its role as a chassis service in social and economic development, steadily expand the international route network, improve the operation level of international routes, and strive to provide better and more convenient aviation logistics services for the improvement of people's quality of life and social and economic development.
