Why Chinese exporters choose EgyptAir Cargo for Africa, Middle East and global cargo.
For Chinese manufacturers and traders, EgyptAir Cargo offers a uniquely positioned, rapidly expanding air freight solution with three distinct advantages.
Strategic hub at the crossroads of continents. Cairo International Airport is situated at the geographic and economic intersection of Africa, the Middle East and Europe, making it a natural transshipment hub. EgyptAir Cargo is actively transforming Cairo into a regional cargo hub for the Middle East and Africa, offering efficient, high-quality logistics services with access to key markets across three continents. This hub advantage means Chinese cargo can reach African markets in hours rather than days, with seamless connections to destinations that lack direct China links.
Expanding China connectivity with dedicated freighter services. EgyptAir Cargo is planning to launch scheduled freighter services to Haikou and Urumqi from August 2026, with Shenzhen also on the expansion roadmap. These services will provide Chinese shippers with direct, dedicated freighter capacity to Cairo and onward connections across the airline's global network — a significant step beyond traditional belly-cargo-only solutions. The A330 freighter offers 55–59 tonnes of payload per flight, ideal for heavy and time-sensitive cargo.
Full regulatory capability for specialised cargo from China. EgyptAir Cargo recently obtained full certification to ship all categories of dangerous goods from China — previously only two types were authorised. This milestone, combined with IATA CEIV Pharma certification for temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, means Chinese exporters of chemicals, batteries, medical supplies and other regulated goods can now move their products through a single, compliant carrier. The airline's track record in heavy lift and special cargo — including aircraft engines of all sizes — further reinforces its capability for complex shipments.
On cost and reliability, routing via Cairo typically offers competitive rates compared to all-the-way long-haul products, while EgyptAir's Star Alliance membership provides access to a global interline network. Goodhope Freight consolidates and negotiates on the China side, so exporters benefit from consolidated rates, predictable departures and local Chinese-language support. With 58,000+ tonnes of cargo carried annually and an 18% year-on-year growth trajectory, EgyptAir Cargo is a dependable, growing partner for Chinese exporters targeting Africa and beyond.

How EgyptAir Cargo's Cairo hub and specialised services create value for freight from China.
EgyptAir Cargo is built around a single, strategically positioned hub: Cairo International Airport (CAI). From there, the airline operates a growing network of dedicated freighter services and utilises belly capacity on EgyptAir's passenger fleet to reach destinations across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, the Americas and Asia. The airline is actively positioning Cairo as a regional transshipment hub, connecting cargo to key markets including Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Johannesburg.
Specialised cargo capabilities are a cornerstone of EgyptAir Cargo's offering. The airline holds IATA CEIV Pharma certification for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical logistics, renewed in 2025, ensuring that Chinese exporters of medical supplies and vaccines can rely on compliant, high-standard handling throughout the supply chain. The airline has also obtained full certification to ship all categories of dangerous goods from China, a critical capability for Chinese manufacturers of batteries, chemicals and industrial products.
Heavy and special cargo is another area of strength. EgyptAir Cargo has demonstrated its capability to handle complex shipments including aircraft engines of all sizes, with fast delivery and high efficiency. The planned addition of A350-1000 freighters (111 tonnes payload each) will further expand this capability, enabling the airline to carry an even wider range of cargo types to destinations worldwide.
Looking ahead, EgyptAir Cargo's strategic roadmap includes digital transformation — cost governance initiatives and a revamp of its corporate website — and a clear focus on environmental sustainability and compliance with international standards. The airline is also diversifying its services to include express shipping, cold chain logistics and e-commerce cargo, backed by a modern fleet and integrated operations system. With a growing freighter fleet, expanding China connectivity and a full suite of regulatory certifications, EgyptAir Cargo is well-positioned as a strategic partner for Chinese exporters targeting Africa, the Middle East and beyond.
