Sichuan Airlines Cargo’s Brussels launch delayed for “a few weeks”

Share

Sichuan Airlines Cargo, a Chinese airline based at Chengdu, was expected at Brussels Airport at the end of April 2019.

Aviation24.be learned from Brussels Airport’s spokeswoman Nathalie Pierard yesterday that: “Launch has been postponed for a few weeks, due to the delayed acquisition of slots and permits, and also to the late delivery of their first Airbus A330F (A7-AFZ, coming from Qatar Cargo).”

The exact date of operation launch is still unknown, but the future cargo route hasn’t been cancelled, Pierard said.
