Ostrava in the Czech Republic serves as a vital industrial center in Central Europe, facilitating swift distribution to multiple European countries. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan acts as a bridge connecting the markets of Central Asia and Europe, offering significant trade opportunities.

According to Cui Mengjie, Deputy Manager of the Market Development Department at Qingdao Airport Logistics Development Co., Ltd., the all-cargo air route connecting Qingdao, China; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; and Ostrava, Czech Republic, is operated by My Freighter LLC. This route predominantly ferries high-value goods such as automotive parts, electronic components, and industrial pieces.

To date, Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport has launched 14 all-cargo air routes, including China North's sole all-cargo air route link to Canada, specifically the Qingdao-Toronto connection. The inauguration of the all-cargo air route spanning Qingdao to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and Ostrava is set to establish a more streamlined "air bridge" for freight between Shandong and European regions.
