The Shenzhen-Frankfurt cargo route is the second intercontinental cargo route opened by China Southern Airlines in Shenzhen this year.

This cargo route will operate regularly three times a week， and the flight will be carried out by a Boeing 777 freighter with a capacity of more than 95 tons. This route will provide a more convenient freight turnover between the Greater Bay Area and Frankfurt, which is the most important transportation hub in Europe.
