B.C., other Canadian exports now flying direct to China

http://asian-aviation-news.blogspot.com/
VANCOUVER, B.C. -- B.C. and other Canadian exports are finding new markets for their products in China through the new China Southern Airlines (CSA) cargo service from Vancouver International Airport to Shanghai.

Since July, CSA has been moving B.C. seafood and heavy equipment from across Canada four times a week. The new service will create the equivalent of about 40 full-time jobs in the airline industry and other indirect jobs in Canada's export industries, officials said.

"This service is a major boost to Canada's Asia-Pacific Gateway's air corridor, providing a vital service for high-value and time-sensitive Canadian goods that are in great demand in Asian markets," officials said in a release. "The Asia-Pacific Gateway air corridor's advantages are also increased by the elimination of B.C.'s aviation fuel tax and the Government of Canada's low tax policies."

Government and industry partners have committed $22 billion to expand and enhance port, rail, road and airport infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific Gateway.
