STO launches HK to Brescia, Italy, B747F flights via Baku, Azerbaijan
AN SW Italia Boeing 747-400 freighter operated for China-based Shentong Express (STO) has started flying to Brescia Montichiari Airport, 100 kilometres east of Milan.
The new thrice-weekly cargo service connects Hong Kong International Airport to Brescia via Baku, Azerbaijan, reportedly carrying express parcels and Chinese exports bound for warehouses and fulfilment centres across Europe.
A report by Cargo Facts said it has been expecting SW Italia to launch new flights for some time now. Last month, the carrier's joint venture parent, Silk Way West transferred a B747-400F to SW Italia to take over the flights between Prague and Hong Kong, which were initially serviced with a Silk Way West B747-8F.
After the transfer occurred, SW Italia CEO Ignazio Coraci said that a third freighter would be added in the coming months to resume scheduled freighter flights out of Baku. Silk Way West is currently preparing to take delivery of its fifth 747-8F next month, which could mean that SW Italia's third freighter is not far behind.
