The Shenzhen Airport Group has announced a new air freight route starting operations in April and linking Shenzhen, one of China's five special economic zones, to Taiwan.

The new flights are the only ones carrying freight from the Chinese mainland to Taiwan. There will be two flights daily, and the Macao Special Administrative Region will serve as the transfer station.

Freight charges for the Shenzhen-Macao-Taiwan route will be less than that for the current Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Taiwan route, but will not weaken HK's business market, according to Chen Hong, manager of Shenzhen Airport Group.

Shenzhen and Hong Kong airports' different market focus will mean there will be no cut-throat competition, on the contrary, the two will work together to their own advantage, experts believe.
