At around 5:00 am on November 27th, a fully cargo charter plane carrying 48 tons of cargo took off from Beijing Daxing International Airport. On this trip, it stopped at Al Maktoum Airport in the United Arab Emirates and flew to Watley Airport in Paris, France.
On May 9th of this year, the first all cargo charter flight route of this route officially set sail. In June, it achieved regular operation of three flights per week and has been running smoothly for more than half a year, with continuous business expansion. As of the end of October, this route has provided efficient and stable air cargo services for over 200 import and export enterprises, ensuring the export of various types of goods such as aviation equipment, electronic products, and clothing, and providing strong support for more enterprises to go abroad conveniently.
Due to factors such as long shipping cycles, in the past, our orders mainly came from neighboring Southeast Asian countries. The opening of all cargo charter flights has greatly reduced the delivery time of sample goods to Europe from the original 30 days to 72 hours, giving us more confidence in expanding overseas markets. "Langfang Leading Furniture Factory is a professional enterprise engaged in office seats and gaming seats. Du Fei, the head of the marketing department of the factory, said that the rapidly growing international freight channel provides strong support for the enterprise to enhance its international competitiveness.
To ensure efficient customs clearance of charter cargo, the Daxing Airport Customs under Beijing Customs has taken multiple measures and continuously optimized customs clearance services, relying on the "First Customs One Stop" hotline to provide 24/7 policy consultation and clearance support. In the inspection process, a year-round, on the go inspection mode will be implemented, and holiday appointment clearance services will be provided for key goods to effectively improve the efficiency of goods inspection and clearance. Statistics show that as of the end of October this year, the customs at Daxing Airport have ensured the safe and efficient clearance of 61 charter flights and 2866 tons of export goods.
In addition to improving time efficiency, the opening of all cargo charter flights has also saved costs for export enterprises. Langfang Yituo International Trade Co., Ltd. is one of the beneficiary enterprises.
The person in charge of the company, Zhang Zixu, told reporters that the company immediately paid attention to the opening and subsequent progress of the all cargo charter flight route. Since June, it has been exporting performance costumes to European countries such as France, Germany, and Italy through this route. The previous transportation method was to first transport the goods by truck to the southern port and then export them by air freight. The complex logistics process and cost pressure have caused inconvenience to our business operations. After the opening of the route, the goods that used to take 4 days to transit and be shipped can now be delivered in up to 2 days, saving 40% of the shipping cost. When it comes to the pain points of export, Zhang Zixu is deeply touched.
It is reported that the Daxing Airport Economic Zone has achieved a transformation from single cargo transportation to full chain ecological agglomeration. With the joint promotion of various factors such as the improvement of airport port functions and customs clearance guarantees, the full cargo charter business of Daxing Airport Economic Zone is becoming increasingly mature, and the industrial magnetic attraction effect continues to strengthen. This transformation not only meets the international logistics needs of top cross-border e-commerce companies, but also attracts more production enterprises to settle down, building an efficient and convenient channel for domestic goods to go global and connect goods globally.
