## Overview

Hangzhou YTO Cargo Airlines Co., Ltd. is an all-cargo airline based at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH) in Zhejiang province and a wholly owned subsidiary of the listed YTO Express Group (600233.SH), one of China's leading parcel and courier operators. The Civil Aviation Administration of China approved the airline's establishment on 5 August 2014; its maiden flight took place in September 2015. According to the carrier's own description it is Zhejiang's only large all-cargo airline certified under CCAR-121 regulations, operating scheduled and charter cargo services domestically – including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan – and internationally.

The identifiers that matter to forwarders are IATA code YG, ICAO designator HYT and air waybill prefix 860; the callsign is QUICK AIR. As at 31 December 2025 the fleet comprised ten Boeing 757-200 freighter conversions, two Boeing 767-300 freighters and one COMAC ARJ21-700F (C909F), which specialist databases most recently reported as inactive. The Boeing 767s cover the long-haul routes, among them Hangzhou–Astana–Budapest with two rotations per week.

Decisive for booking: since 18 September 2025 the airline has distributed its entire capacity exclusively through WebCargo by Freightos, making it the first Chinese all-cargo carrier on that platform. The initial focus is on China–South Asia lanes covering India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, followed by the Persian Gulf and Europe.

A second pillar is Jiaxing Nanhu Airport, opened on 26 December 2025, where the YTO group has built the YTO SKYHUB logistics hub at a total investment of 12.2 billion yuan. On 28 May 2026 flight YG9007 to Dhaka launched the hub's first international cargo service, operating three times a week.
