Cainiao's first air cargo center is located in Shenzhen, and the efficiency of cross-border parcel processing has increased by 30%.

China has entered a new stage of development, and cross-border e-commerce has become a key node in building a new development pattern of domestic and international dual circulation. In 2022, Shenzhen Airport's cargo and mail throughput ranked third in the country and among the top 20 airports in the world. Among them, the growth of air transport cross-border e-commerce cargo volume has become an important driving force for the high-quality development of Shenzhen Airport's international cargo.

It is understood that the Cainiao International Express Shenzhen Air Cargo Center that has been established this time is Cainiao’s first air cargo center in the country. It will also become the first project to be launched in the Shenzhen Airport e-commerce zone. It is expected to be officially put into operation within this month.

Located inside Shenzhen Airport, the center can realize the rapid transfer of parcels and goods between the airside and landside of the airport. It includes functions such as distribution and sorting, airside palletizing, customs inspection, customs clearance declaration, etc., realizing the "embedded" supervision process, and is equipped with digital logistics technology and equipment, such as LEMO PDA, digital customs clearance system and freight center WMS system. The efficiency of parcel warehousing processing is expected to be optimized by 20 %-30% .

It is expected that after the official opening of the center, the delivery time of packages will be further optimized. On the one hand, packages and goods in Shenzhen and South China will be able to enter the airport and board the plane faster. For example, after the Cainiao International Express Express package is collected, it can directly enter the center for distribution; on the other hand, the center integrates transshipment, port transit and other functions, which can transfer packages and goods to other ports or airports to improve efficiency.

In addition, the center has 7*24 operation conditions, which can better cope with the cargo peaks during cross-border peak seasons such as Double 11 and Black Friday.

"The cooperation with Shenzhen Airport will further leverage Cainiao's advantages in digital logistics technology and cross-border logistics services, and combined with Cainiao's overseas logistics infrastructure construction, allow merchants to better enjoy 'cargo across the world, worry-free cross-border transportation'." Cainiao Vice President Ding Hongwei said that Cainiao will open more international cargo routes with Shenzhen as the departure point, providing Chinese brands and Chinese manufacturing with cross-border parcel and international freight services with better timeliness and service.

“ We are very pleased to open new international cargo routes with Cainiao, ” said John Dietrich, President and CEO of Atlas Air . “Through in-depth cooperation with Cainiao, we will be able to better provide global logistics services for Chinese brands and Chinese manufacturing.”

The opening of this route will accelerate the efficiency of exports from Shenzhen and surrounding cities to Latin America. Currently, Cainiao has deployed smart distribution centers and smart express lockers in Brazil, and it is expected that the efficiency of cross-border logistics transportation will be increased by 20% . Packages from Chinese cross-border merchants can be delivered to Brazilian consumers in "as fast as a week or so" .

According to data released by the General Administration of Customs of China, China's bilateral trade volume with Latin America reached US$485.8 billion in 2022 , an increase of 7.7% over 2021, setting a historical high .

"In the past few years, China has been Brazil's largest trading partner, and cross-border e-commerce has become a new trend and new driving force for the growth of China-Brazil trade." Du Fei, Consul General of Brazil in Guangzhou, mentioned in his speech that with the opening of direct cargo flights from Shenzhen to Sao Paulo, trade between the two countries will be further accelerated. He hopes that more high-quality and high-value-added Brazilian products can reach China faster. At the same time, he wishes Cainiao success in its business in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
