International air freight company Central Asia Airlines opens new route

On July 26, 2025, My Freighter announced the opening of a regular cargo route from Shanghai Pudong to Amsterdam, which will transit through the Tashgan hub.

This route is operated by B767F, with two flights per week. Central Asia Airlines, with Tashkent as its core, has gradually built a transit network covering 7 countries and 9 cities. The opening of this new route has formed an efficient connection between the East Asian, European, and Middle Eastern markets, providing more direct air transportation options for energy, agricultural products, and other trade between China and Central Asian countries. It also means that Chinese pharmaceutical products and precision electronic components can quickly reach Europe through this route, and fresh products from Central Asia can also enter the Chinese market with the help of cold chain technology.

In addition to the regular cargo route from Pudong, Shanghai to Amsterdam, Central Asia Airlines has also opened multiple other routes, including passenger and cargo routes, as follows:
