AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) has added flights to leading commercial centre Chongqing to its network from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport, its sixth Chinese destination.

The new twice-weekly service operates on Wednesday and Friday, and will be linked with ABC's Shanghai flights returning to Moscow, complementing its frequencies and accommodating cargo flows from central China.

Connections are available in Moscow to elsewhere in Russia, Europe and the US.

"Chongqing is our sixth point in China, which makes our footprint in this country stronger and guarantees the coverage needed to ensure we are meeting our customers' needs," said Robert van de Weg, ABC's senior vice-president, marketing and sales.
