Intercontinental
Silk Road

AIRMAX Cargo Budapest Zrt. offers rail freight services on the China–Hungary–China corridor as an alternative to ocean freight and, in many cases, air freight. The “Iron Silk Road” has evolved into a key intercontinental transport corridor and is increasingly chosen by clients seeking a balanced solution between transit time and cost. Airmax Cargo’s continued growth is driven by consistent service quality, operational reliability, and sector-specific expertise, supported by clear, proactive communication, ensuring long-term value for its customers.
As a member of major global logistics networks, Airmax Cargo delivers efficient, reliable, and high-quality freight forwarding services through its established worldwide partnerships.
An additional alternative that bypasses Russia is the “Middle Corridor”, which runs from China to Europe via Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Turkey, offering a cost-efficient option with shorter transit times for certain routes.

Rail freight is recommended when:
-
larger volumes or heavier shipments need to be transported
-
non-stackable or oversized goods need to be transported
-
shorter transit times are required compared to maritime transport
-
cost savings are required compared to air freight
-
reducing environmental impact is a priority, as rail generates significantly lower CO₂ emissions per unit of freight than air transport
-
a planned sea shipment becomes urgent and a faster, yet still cost-efficient, solution is required for larger volumes
