htmlOn November 5, a batch of cargo weighing 2,207 kilograms took a flight to Los Angeles, USA at Shenzhen Airport. At 22:14 that day, the cargo completed the early customs declaration work and was loaded on the plane only 6 hours and 26 minutes later, saving at least half of the time compared to the previous process. "The export of goods is smoother now! Shenzhen's 'Haiwan Port Flow Plan' has greatly facilitated logistics companies. In the past, all exported goods had to be transported to the Shenzhen Airport freight station 2 to 3 days in advance for customs clearance procedures. Now most of the processes can be completed in their own warehouse in advance. Just transport the goods to the freight station a few hours in advance." said Ouyang Yue, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Mebang Express Industrial Co., Ltd.
cargo flows rapidly, becoming the epitome of Shenzhen’s construction of four-type airports, helping to smooth the dual circulation. In August this year, with the opening of the cargo route from Shenzhen to Bangalore, Shenzhen Airport's international and regional cargo navigation cities increased to 34, with more than 370 cargo flights per week. In the first three quarters, Shenzhen Airport's international and regional cargo and mail throughput increased by 21.3% year-on-year.
A large number of airport logistics personnel work hard to ensure supply, compete for the market, and create a smart line together, vigorously promote the "smooth global" manufacturing in the Bay Area, effectively ensure the security and stability of the global supply chain industrial chain , and demonstrate the vitality and resilience of Shenzhen's economy.
Double 11 and Double 12 are coming. Wang Xin, director of the Operations Department of Shenzhen Airport International Cargo Station Co., Ltd., entered another year's sprint. Looking at the orderly cross-border flights, he couldn't help but think of that morning in April 2020. "In the international cargo station, there are usually only 11 trailers, and nearly 40 trailers were parked to send masks and other anti-epidemic materials to aircraft from all over the world."
"At that time, the State of Marcenosse, the United States sent a cargo plane converted into a passenger plane to transport masks. The epidemic prevention policy requires that the crew not get off the plane and be exempted from quarantine if they complete the load within 3 hours. With the cooperation of the international cargo station, we successfully packed the cargo from ten containers that had previously taken 5 hours to pack within 54 minutes. It took a total of 2 hours and 57 minutes to complete the task successfully." Wang Xin recalled.
Shenzhen Airport Customs Inspection Fruit
Due to the impact of the epidemic, import and export goods from Shenzhen Airport have surged significantly in recent years. In 2019, the total import and export cargo at Shenzhen Airport reached 179,000 tons, while the total import and export cargo this year has reached more than 420,000 tons. To this end, Shenzhen Airport launched the "Smooth Flow Plan" in March 2021. On the hardware, establish a front-loading cargo station to release site utilization and accelerate the speed of cargo circulation. In terms of software, Shenzhen Customs has provided a series of policy support to significantly reduce the time of stay in the port area and solve the pressure on the site.
After continuous improvement, Shenzhen Airport achieved smooth import and export flow in September this year. Wang Xin gave an example, saying that the Southeast Asian fruits will take no more than 10 hours from picking to being served on the dining table at the Shenzhen Hotel. It only takes 12 hours to get the fastest of ordinary cargo, and it only takes 9 hours to get out of the factory to board the plane, and the export efficiency doubles.

Smart airport construction has effectively promoted the leap in logistics efficiency. Shenzhen Airport International Cargo Station has developed and manufactured the world's first large-scale security inspection machine for aircraft whole board cargo through the introduction of the container CT security inspection machine project, effectively completing the transportation of bulk cargo.

What is special about this "behemoth"? In layman's terms, all cargoes at airports used to be checked through security, assembled in the warehouse, and then transported to the apron. In the future, cargo can be assembled in the forward warehouse and then scanned by the large security check machine and then transported directly to the aircraft.
At present, a large security inspection machine is undergoing testing and is expected to be officially put into use next year. During the machine test, Wang Xin, who was sitting in the photo judgment room, could not hide his excitement. "This security inspection machine subverted my operating procedures in the past 20 years, and technological innovation promoted a significant improvement in the quality and efficiency of logistics."
Shenzhen Airport's large security inspection machine is being tested, and after it is put into use, it will efficiently complete the transportation of bulk goods.
has built four types of airports with "peace, green, wisdom and humanities". Shenzhen Airport has put a lot of effort into the smart airport.Nowadays, various units in Shenzhen Airport have built digital dispatching centers to instantly grasp any operation in any corner of the site. The command centers of each unit can directly contact the airport's command center to form a seamless information connection.
There has always been a saying in the global logistics industry: "If you win the three major ones, you will win the world." These three majors refer to the three major global logistics giants: FedEx , UPS and DHL. The business scale of the three companies accounts for about 1/3 of the global market, and the supply source is stable.
In order to bring in these logistics "century-old stores", Su Jianchu, director of the Market Development Department of Shenzhen Airport Logistics Development Co., Ltd., and his team worked hard.
"DHL intends to build a South China Airlines Express Hub." In 2017, Su Jianchu took action immediately after obtaining the news.
Su Jianchu
Why did the logistics giant choose Shenzhen Airport? They give three "hard core" reasons. First, Shenzhen Airport will provide a hub for the construction of an old international freight station adjacent to the apron, which is adjacent to the international express delivery center. After the facilities are put into use, it will ensure the efficient circulation of imported and exported goods.
Secondly, the 28,000 square meters of old cargo station was demolished, the airport and DHL invested more than 1 billion yuan respectively, benchmarking international first-class standards, building a new freight warehousing distribution center, and investing in the most advanced automatic sorting equipment.
Finally, Shenzhen is close to Hong Kong, and DHL location selection Shenzhen can be closely linked to its Hong Kong hub, accelerate the cargo turnover between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and rely on the original fast channel between Shenzhen and Hong Kong airports to significantly improve the operation efficiency of airport routes between the two places.

In October 2017, DHL signed a memorandum of cooperation with Shenzhen Airport. On November 10, 2022, the main structure of the first phase of DHL South China Airlines Express Hub was successfully topped off.
Nowadays, DHL, UPS, FedEx global logistics three giants gathered at Shenzhen Airport. At present, DHL has opened freight routes at Shenzhen Airport that connect major freight hubs such as Los Angeles, Cincinnati , Leipzig , and Singapore.
is the "century-old store" and "leading enterprises". Su Jianchu told reporters that in 2022, Shenzhen Airport introduced Cainiao and Yuntu International Express Distribution Center and other projects. Now Yuntu has opened Riyadh and Osaka cargo routes, and Cainiao tries to operate charter flights. With more and more top domestic cross-border e-commerce companies in place, Shenzhen Airport's ability to coordinate cargo distribution and distribution has been enhanced, the value of site resources has been continuously optimized, and the energy level of Shenzhen Airport's air cargo hub is being effectively improved. A leading demonstration airport-type national logistics hub is being accelerated.
