Full cargo charter flight helps accelerate the overseas expansion of enterprises in Beijing Tianjin Hebei region
Since May 9th of this year, the first all cargo charter flight route of Daxing Airport has been steadily developing. The reporter learned from Beijing Customs that 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 enterprises to go abroad conveniently.
At around 5:00 am on December 4th, Air France's Airbus A330 all cargo charter flight carrying 48 tons of cargo took off from Beijing Daxing International Airport, stopped at Al Maktoum Airport in the United Arab Emirates, and continued to fly to Watley Airport in Paris, France. It is reported that this route can achieve regular operation of 3 flights per week, and has been running smoothly for half a year with continuous business expansion.
We specialize in the production of office chairs and gaming chairs. In the past, due to factors such as long shipping cycles, orders mainly came from neighboring Southeast Asian countries. When it comes to this rapidly growing international freight channel, Du Fei, the head of the marketing department of Wen'an County Leading Furniture Factory, told reporters that with the opening of the all cargo charter flight route, the delivery time of sample goods to Europe has been greatly reduced from the original 30 days to 72 hours, providing strong support for the company to explore overseas markets and enhance international competitiveness.
The opening of all cargo charter flight routes has also saved costs for enterprises. Langfang Yituo International Trade Co., Ltd. is one of the beneficiary enterprises. Since June, the company has exported performance costumes to European countries such as France, Germany, and Italy through air routes. 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 brought inconvenience to our business operations. "When talking about the changes before and after, Zhang Zixu, the person in charge of the enterprise, was deeply touched. He said that after the opening of the route, goods that used to take 4 days to transit for shipment can now be delivered in a maximum of 2 days, saving 40% on shipping costs.
Moreover, import and export enterprises can also enjoy multiple customs clearance services provided by the Daxing Airport Customs under the jurisdiction of Beijing Customs. For example, companies can consult customs clearance policies online through a 24/7 "First Stop" hotline; In the inspection process, enterprises can enjoy the "instant inspection" service, and key goods can also be cleared through customs appointments during holidays, greatly improving the efficiency of goods inspection and clearance. Data shows that as of the end of November this year, the customs at Daxing Airport have ensured the safe and efficient clearance of 74 charter flights and 3501 tons of exported goods.
The relevant person in charge of Beijing Customs stated that currently, the Daxing Airport Economic Zone has achieved a transformation from a single cargo transportation to a full chain ecological agglomeration economic zone. With the joint promotion of multiple 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.
