The freight route was successfully opened. This route is also the first route in Jiangsu Province to Latin America.
It is understood that the newly launched cargo route from Wuxi to Mexico City will be operated by Aeromexico Cargo. It is planned to operate three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, with a one-way flight time of approximately 22 hours and 50 minutes.
The opening of the Mexico route has greatly improved the air logistics timeliness of goods from inside and outside Jiangsu Province to Central America and Latin America.
