The route is operated by Kangni Airlines, with technical stops in Anchorage, the United States, on both legs, with an outbound stop in Incheon, South Korea. Each flight can carry up to 110 tonnes one way, and a full round trip takes about 46 hours. The maiden flight K4960 carried 105 tonnes, roughly 60% of which were cross-border e-commerce parcels, with garments and mobile phone accessories making up the rest.

By design, cargo departing from Ningbo can be redistributed from Mexico City in two directions: into the southern United States market through air-land intermodal connections, and onward to South American economies including Colombia, Peru and Chile. The route provides time-efficient supply chain support for Chinese manufacturers going global and an efficient logistics channel for cross-border e-commerce expanding into Latin America.

According to Ningbo Airport Customs, the port handled 1,583 inbound and outbound cargo flights in the first three quarters of this year. With the launch of the Mexico route, Ningbo’s air cargo network now covers major cargo hubs in East Asia, South Asia, Europe and North America, marking its first connection to Latin America.
