Flight 3V811 landed at Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport on April 25, marking three years since the intercontinental cargo route between Jinan and Liege in Belium began operating.

Since its opening in April 2018, 406 flights have operated on the route, transporting more than 80,000 tons of international imports and exports. The route is becoming an important trade and exchange channel connecting Jinan and European countries.

Shandong's key enterprises, including Sinotruk, and e-commerce enterprises in the province have used the route to transport mechanical and electrical equipment, raw materials for drugs, and e-commerce goods, greatly improving transportation efficiency, and reducing transport costs.

After the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, the flight was resumed ahead of others in Shandong and became the only intercontinental all-cargo flight in operation in the province. The flight has played an important role in transporting epidemic prevention materials during the pandemic period.

The cargo line will continue working to improve the overall quality of logistics to serve the development of key industries in Jinan, such as intelligent manufacturing, biomedicine, and modern logistics.
