European Cargo to base A340-600 freighters at Teesside, launch five-weekly China services
European Cargo will establish an operational base at Teesside International Airport and operate five weekly long‑haul freighter services to China using converted A340‑600 aircraft. Each A340‑600F offers about 76 tonnes payload and the deployment creates roughly 375 tonnes of weekly lift on the new Teesside–China link.
