Northwest Airlines (NWA) Cargo has introduced an express trucking service between Hong Kong and China’s Guangdong province. The company said in a statement that it is the fi rst airline to receive authority to move in-bond trucks between Hong Kong international airport and Guangzhou’s Baiyun international airport.

The daily service allows NWA Cargo customers to transport their export freight with only one brief customs check in Huanggong, no stopping at multiple checkpoints along the way is required, the statement said. Trucks depart Hong Kong and arrive at Guangzhou Baiyun in time to connect with Northwest Cargo’s daily outbound fl ight to Japan with continuing service to the US.

Northwest is also working on an express truck service from Guangzhou to Hong Kong for import shipments.
