Tassal is teaming with HNA Cold Chain and HNA Cargo as part of a new project to deliver fresh salmon to the Chinese market within 24 hours, reports Kaixian.

The maiden flight with Tassal's salmon on board landed at Xi'an Xianyang International Airport from Melbourne Airport on Dec. 2, where it was quickly handed over to a cold chain truck ready to be driven to Xi'an.

The project, a joint effort from Tassal, HNA Cold Chain and HNA Cargo, meant that in less than 24 hours, fresh salmon was available on the Chinese e-commerce market.
