The world's first charter flight carrying king crabs departing from Murmansk, Russia, arrived at Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport in Southwest China's Guizhou province on July 26. This was the first time that Russian king crabs have landed in Guiyang via the airport.

As the first batch of seafood imported through the Guiyang-Moscow all-cargo international freight route, these live and fresh king crabs will be distributed to markets across the country after arriving in Guiyang, with some reaching the dining tables of Guiyang residents themselves.
The designated supervision site and opening of the route have reduced the time it takes to ship Russia's freshest products to Guiyang from 50 hours to 13 hours, preserving the original flavor and nutrition of the seafood as much as possible.
The Guiyang-Moscow cargo route opened on July 13 and is expected to operate 80 flights this year, with three flights completed so far, meaning that a variety of Russian seafood and other products will enter Guizhou in the future.
