Jade ready for take off
Jade Cargo International will begin commercial operations Aug. 5. The joint venture between Lufthansa Cargo, Shenzhen Airlines and a German investment group received its first freighter — a new Boeing 747-400 Extended Range — on July 31.
Jade’s initial flight is from its home base at Shenzhen’s Baoan International Airport to Amsterdam. The start-up carrier will operate three frequencies to Amsterdam and Seoul, South Korea.
Jade is scheduled to receive its second freighter in November.
