Dubai World Central (DWC) – the world’s 22nd busiest cargo hub by international freight volumes – welcomed the Chinese carrier Uni-top Airlines’ inaugural flight from Kunming Changshui International Airport on Tuesday (30 October).
The carrier will utilise a Boeing 747F between the two cities to support the development of civil aviation and trade between China and the UAE.
Uni-top Airlines will operate three flights per week between DWC and Kunming in China’s Yunnan province.
