On September 4th, an Airbus A330-200F cargo aircraft adorned with "Hongyuan Group" livery smoothly touched down on the runway at Brussels International Airport. Two fire trucks sprayed intersecting water columns to give the aircraft a ceremonial welcome, signifying the official delivery of Hongyuan's first self-owned Airbus A330-200F. With this delivery, Hongyuan's self-owned fleet of cargo aircraft has now reached a total of three wide-body freighters.
The Airbus A330-200F is Hongyuan's choice for efficient and flexible cargo operations. It has a maximum range of 7200 kilometers, a maximum payload of approximately 60 tons, a cargo hold volume of nearly 500 cubic meters, and the main deck can accommodate up to 22 pallets. Additionally, the lower cargo hold can accommodate 8 pallets plus 2 Unit Load Devices (ULDs) for air freight.

The delivery ceremony featured a grand aviation industry tradition known as the "water salute," which is the highest level of aviation etiquette. This was arranged by Brussels International Airport to christen and bless the new aircraft. Additionally, leaders from Brussels Airport, Brussels Airlines, and Aviapartner attended the delivery ceremony, bearing witness alongside the European team from Hongyuan Group.

This Airbus A330-200F is scheduled to be put into service on the Hongyuan Group's China-Europe international cargo route in mid to late September this year. Both in China and Europe, Hongyuan Group has a professional in-house support team of over a hundred people, capable of providing customers with end-to-end services including port operations, air-land intermodal transportation, air-air intermodal transportation, customs clearance, and city cargo terminals.
The delivery of this Airbus A330-200F holds significant importance for the development of Hongyuan Group's air cargo business. It enhances the fleet size, increases the flexibility and proactivity of cargo capacity adjustments, and further improves service efficiency for Hongyuan. Additionally, it provides high-quality and reliable air cargo capacity support for the development of the "air Silk Road" between China and Belgium, representing a crucial step in Hongyuan's efforts to establish high-quality air cargo connections between China and Europe.
