CHINA's ecommerce platforms and couriers are ramping up efforts to improve delivery efficiency and quality with the number of parcels expected to surge during China's biggest annual online shopping festival, reports Beijing's Global Times.
Industry insiders project that the total amount of parcels will maintain growth compared with last year's Double 11 shopping festival, despite the impact of Covid-19, with the sector expected to expand five per cent for the whole year.
The overall parcel volume during 2021 Double 11 shopping festival reached 696 million, up 18.2 per cent year on year, according to the State Bureau of China.
Behind the robust growth, it is the fast recovery of China's air cargo market, which is also playing an important role in the fast growing business.
Taking Shanghai Pudong International Airport as an example, the number of inbound and outbound cargo flights at the airport reached 17,800 in the third quarter of this year, an increase of about 34.8 per cent over the second quarter and an increase of about 6.6 per cent over the same period last year.
Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport completed air cargo throughput of 478,000 tons from January to July this year, including 78,300 tons of air cargo in international and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions.
DHL Express told the Global Times that a series of initiatives linked to their facilities and air capacity have been put into operation at DHL Express Guangzhou gateway in October. This included the establishment of a dedicated area for air express cargo handling at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, the expansion of landside freight area warehouses, and the additional cargo route linking Guangzhou to the Americas.
The air cargo transportation volume declined at the beginning of 2022 compared with the same period in 2019, but the volume has shown an increasing trend since April, Zhong Shan, an economist at China Academy of Civil Aviation Science and Technology.
