With the rapid development of the airline route network expansion, Ningbo air cargo industry is increasingly prosperous. According to Ningbo Customs, Ningbo’s total import and export value of air cargo from January to November 2016 reached 2.25 billion US dollars, surpassing the last year’s total by 10.2% and the total import and export volume reached 25,159 tons with a year-on-year increase of 3.9%.
Compared with ocean shipping, air shipping is more fast and convenient. From the beginning of 2016, along with the expansion of International express delivery services and the increasingly rapid development of cross-boarder e-commerce, Ningbo Lishe International Airport have added more airline routes and opened 3 air cargo routes. Many foreign trade companies choose the airfreight transportation. All these contributed to the increase of export volume of air cargo.
"There used to be fewer air cargo routes so our products had to take the passenger flights where the space was quite limited," said Mr.Zheng, the responsible man of Ningbo Topfreight International Logistics Co., Ltd, " the air cargo routes make the export shipping much easier and more efficient."
Ningbo Customs implemented a series measures to simplify the customs procedures, which also promoted the development of airfreight export and import shipping service, including adding extra work time to Ningbo Customs to deal with cargos that arrive on weekends
