Civil Aviation Resource Network July 1, 2022 news: In order to meet the growing demand of the international aviation logistics market, based on the successful launch of the Budapest route by Shanghai Airlines in 2019, on July 1, 2022, Shanghai Airlines successfully completed the Pudong -Paris’ inaugural flight.
At 9:48 local time, the Shanghai Airlines 787 passenger plane, fully loaded with 31 tons of cargo, landed smoothly at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport . It is reported that starting from July 1, Shanghai Airlines will operate four Pudong-Paris cargo flights every week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday), operated by Shanghai Airlines' latest 787-9 aircraft, flight number is MU7553/7554.
Since the end of last year, with the unified deployment and strong support of the parent company China Eastern Airlines, considering that the Shanghai Airlines B787 model uses lighter and stronger composite materials, it can save 20% of fuel than similar aircraft and can operate for more than 10 hours. The route is the most profitable and advantageous for this aircraft; in addition, Shanghai Airlines has mature experience in operating Budapest routes and has the EASA qualification to fly to Europe. On March 30 this year, Shanghai Airlines successfully obtained the landing permit approval from the Paris Civil Aviation Authority. This marks another important step taken by Shanghai Airlines in the layout and operation of European routes.
It is reported that in addition to the Pudong-Paris route, Shanghai Airlines has recently opened and resumed a number of new international routes through full communication and coordination, combined with the characteristics of the company's fleet and crew resources, including Shanghai-Sydney, Shanghai-Melbourne, Qingdao -Wet lease cargo flights and passenger flights in Osaka and other places are operated by 787 and 737-800 aircraft, effectively helping to resume work and reach production.
