On April 1, SF Airlines Flight O3107, loaded with cargo, took off from Ezhou Huahu International Airport for Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) International Airport in France, marking the official launch of the "Ezhou-Paris" international cargo route. This is SF Airlines' first cargo route to France from Ezhou, and a key move by the airline to connect a major European hub with its Ezhou hub.
France is China's third-largest trading partner and third-largest source of actual investment within the European Union, while China is France's largest trading partner in Asia and seventh-largest in the world. According to public reports, in the first ten months of 2025, "China-France bilateral trade saw an increase in volume and an improvement in quality, with the two-way investment remaining stable with upward momentum". The "Ezhou-Paris" route connects China's first dedicated cargo hub airport with France's largest airport, further leveraging the advantages of these two hubs in cargo operations and injecting new logistics momentum into China-France economic and trade cooperation as well as the development of the "Air Silk Road".
