With the new service, the highway network in eastern China will be connected with the air network of Shanghai, making Shanghai a transit hub for domestic trade cargo from the eastern and other parts of the country, the report said.
At present, the service is only open to domestic cargo, but China Southern will introduce it to foreign cargo by connecting the highway network with Shanghai's international airfreight network soon, the report said.
