The Shenzhen post office this week sent a consignment of mail to the International Cargo Centre Shenzhen where it was loaded on a China Airlines flight for Taipei.

It marked Shenzhen's entry into the international airmail market.

With several contracts signed recently, it is expected there will soon be international regular mail and express mail delivered to Frankfurt, Los Angeles and other destinations served by China Airlines and Lufthansa from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport.
