Chinese cargo carrier SF Airlines has started a direct freighter service between Ezhou Huahu International Airport (EHU) and Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), extending its long-haul operations into Europe.
The first flight took off from Ezhou on April 1, 2026, using a Boeing 747-400 widebody freighter. The route will carry a range of cargo, including high-volume express parcels, cross-border e-commerce goods, oversized items and heavyweight freight.
According to the airline, the service aims to increase capacity and flexibility in international logistics between China and Europe amid rising demand for efficient cargo links. In a social media statement, SF Airlines noted that the route helps manage complex supply chains and provides reliable air freight for Chinese industries expanding overseas.
Based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, SF Airlines launched in 2009 as the cargo arm of SF Express.
