China has direct flights to several African countries, primarily Ethiopia, Morocco, Kenya, and South Africa.
In this article, Weefreight will provide detailed information and hope it will be helpful.
Ethiopia: Direct flights to Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, are available from cities in China, including Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Hong Kong, Urumqi, and Ezhou. The Urumqi-Addis Ababa cargo route operates two to three times weekly, with a flight time of over eight hours.
Morocco: Royal Air Maroc operates a direct flight from Beijing to Casablanca, Morocco, with three weekly flights, taking less than 14 hours.
Kenya: Both China Southern Airlines and Kenya Airways offer direct flights from Guangzhou to Nairobi, Kenya.
South Africa: China Southern Airlines offers direct flights from Guangzhou to Johannesburg, South Africa.
Air freight from China to Africa typically takes 1-3 days if transit is required, and the overall transit time may be extended to 7-12 days. The specific transit time depends on the transit airport’s efficiency and flight connections.
For example, a shipment from China to Africa via Dubai, where the cargo is unloaded and sorted at the Dubai warehouse, completes customs formalities, and is then airlifted to its African destination, can take 7-10 days. Conversely, a shipment via Paris, France, to Equatorial Guinea typically takes 8-10 days, while a shipment via Istanbul, Turkey, takes 9-12 days.
