Under the agreement, the two sides will commence talks on charter freight flights within three months, and begin talks on direct cross-strait aviation routes as soon as possible in order to reduce flight times and costs. For example, current charter flights from Taipei to Shanghai take 2.5 hours, while direct flights would only take an hour and 40 minutes.
協議中也載明，雙方同意 3 個月內協商「貨運包機」事宜，並儘快進行「兩岸直達航路」的協商，以有效降低通航的時間與成本，例如現行航線由台北包機飛往上海需要 2.5 小時，「截彎取直」後即縮短為 1 小時 40 分。
