Airports Served in China & Flight Schedule

Currently, Pacific Air Cargo does not operate direct scheduled cargo flights from mainland China. The airline's core operations are centered on the Los Angelesโ€“Honolulu corridor, with onward connections to American Samoa and Guam.

For shipments originating in China, cargo is typically routed via Los Angeles (LAX) or Honolulu (HNL) through interline or trucking arrangements with partner carriers. PAC's Road Feeder Service connects all major U.S. gateways to Los Angeles and Hawaii, enabling efficient transshipment of Asian-origin cargo.

China airports with potential indirect access: Shanghai Pudong (PVG), Shenzhen (SZX), Guangzhou (CAN), Beijing (PEK) โ€” via connecting carriers to LAX/HNL.

Cargo Advantages for China Exporters

Oversized & Heavy Lift

PAC's B747-400F nose-loader is one of the few scheduled freighters capable of handling outsize cargo that cannot fit through standard cargo doors. This is a significant advantage for Chinese manufacturers of industrial equipment, machinery, automotive parts, and large-scale project cargo.

Reliable Trans-Pacific Schedule

With six weekly departures from LAX to HNL, PAC offers consistent and predictable capacity for cargo moving from China via U.S. West Coast gateways. This reliability is critical for time-sensitive supply chains.

South Pacific Reach

PAC provides direct weekly services to American Samoa and Guamโ€”destinations that are underserved by other cargo carriers. For Chinese businesses exporting to the South Pacific, PAC offers a unique, dedicated airfreight solution.

High-Value Cargo Expertise

PAC has extensive experience handling pharmaceuticals, perishables, live animals, and valuable commodities. Temperature-controlled and specialized handling protocols ensure product integrity from China to final destination.
