Today, the first regular freighter route directly to Africa in the southwest region — the route from Tianfu in Chengdu to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, was officially opened. According to information, they fly twice a week, with a maximum cargo capacity of 100 tons. The inbound direction mainly transports African specialty products such as coffee, flowers, fruits and vegetables; the departure direction is mainly high value-added products such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaic equipment, and lithium batteries. Addis Ababa is one of Africa's major aviation hubs. Relying on the local route network, goods departing from Chengdu can be transferred to many major African cities after arriving in Addis Ababa; goods from Africa can also enter the western Chinese market through Chengdu and be distributed to other regions through aviation, road, and railway transportation networks. The opening of this new route has also added an air logistics channel for economic and trade exchanges between western China and Africa.
