Luo Tong, Vice President of China Express, said, "The cooperation not only connects the networks of the two carriers, but also makes a trunk route carrier and a feeder carrier complement each other. The feeder market will enter a fast track by benefiting from the well-established trunk routes. So the point-to-point operations of the feeder market will be supported by trunk route operations. China Express is quite committed to making medium and small-sized cities more accessible, and the most effective way of doing that at the lowest social costs is to fully take advantage of the network of trunk routes to grow the feeder market."

Air China serves over 162 destinations in 32 countries and regions worldwide, while China Express is a carrier operating feeder routes for passenger and cargo transportation.
