As global trade becomes increasingly close, the expansion of logistics channels is crucial to regional economic development and international trade. Recently, the logistics connection between Zhengzhou and the UK has made a major breakthrough, injecting new vitality into the economic and trade exchanges between the two places and even between China and Europe.
2. Details of the opening of the new route from Zhengzhou to the UK
1. The first "Zhengzhou-Derby" cross-border e-commerce all-cargo route has set sail. On the afternoon of April 4, a Boeing 747-400F all-cargo aircraft loaded with 95 tons of cross-border e-commerce goods roared up from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport. After transiting through Nazarbayev International Airport in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, it flew smoothly to East Midlands Airport in Derby, UK. This flight was jointly operated by Zhongdamen International Logistics Group and British cargo airline OneAir. Its successful operation marked the official opening of Henan's first Zhengzhou-Derby cross-border e-commerce all-cargo route, building another "air bridge" for economic and trade exchanges between Henan and Europe.
2. The important position of East Midlands Airport As the second largest cargo hub in the UK, East Midlands Airport has a very advantageous geographical location. It is about 160 kilometers away from the British capital London, and can fully meet the strong demand for air transport capacity in London and surrounding areas. The opening of the new route has further strengthened the connection between Zhengzhou and the core logistics hub of Europe, significantly improving Zhengzhou's position in the international logistics landscape. With the radiation capacity of East Midlands Airport, goods can be quickly and efficiently distributed to the UK and other parts of Europe, greatly expanding the coverage of the international logistics network and providing strong logistics support for Chinese-made products to explore the European market.
3. Current status of Zhengzhou air logistics development
1. New routes are opened intensively
Since the beginning of this year, Zhengzhou Airport has made remarkable achievements in the expansion of international cargo routes, and has added international cargo routes to five places including Billund and Abu Dhabi. At the same time, Zhongdamen International Logistics Group has also actively deployed and opened a total of six cross-border e-commerce all-cargo routes from Zhengzhou to Istanbul, Zurich, Liege, Madrid, Budapest and Derby. The opening of such a high density of new routes demonstrates Zhengzhou's determination and action in building a global cross-border e-commerce logistics network.
2. Regular routes and increased flights
Currently, Zhengzhou operates more than 10 cross-border e-commerce all-cargo routes on a regular basis, with more than 20 flights per week, doubling the number of flights compared to last year. Frequent flights have built a cross-border e-commerce logistics network that can reach the world within 72 hours. It has not only attracted many well-known leading cross-border e-commerce companies, but also cooperated with more than 1,500 small cross-border e-commerce companies, providing rich and flexible options for cargo transportation for various companies, and effectively promoting the prosperous development of Zhengzhou's cross-border e-commerce industry.
4. The role of logistics development in promoting cross-border e-commerce and trade
1. Significant growth in cross-border e-commerce business data
The continuous opening of new routes and the continuous encryption of old routes have effectively helped Henan's cross-border e-commerce "flying" business to soar and achieve a strong start in foreign trade. Data show that from January to February this year, Zhengzhou Airport Economic Zone completed 35.0787 million imports and exports of cross-border e-commerce business, and the export volume and value of goods doubled year-on-year. In the first three months, the import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce in Henan Bonded Logistics Park reached 8.118 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 92.2%, and the number of orders was 26.4075 million, an increase of 74.15%. These impressive data fully prove the strong driving effect of logistics channel expansion on cross-border e-commerce business. Efficient logistics guarantees enable goods to be delivered to global consumers more quickly, improve customer experience, and thus promote a substantial increase in business volume.
2. Promote regional economic and international trade exchanges
The continuous optimization of logistics channels from Zhengzhou to the United Kingdom and other European regions has not only driven the development of the local cross-border e-commerce industry, but also played a positive role in promoting regional economic growth. Through the convenient logistics network, Henan's local products can enter the international market more smoothly, which has increased the global popularity and market share of Henan products. At the same time, it has also attracted more international companies to cooperate with Henan, promoted the flow of factors such as capital, technology, and talents, further strengthened the deep integration of Henan with the international market, and played an increasingly important role in promoting international trade exchanges.
5. Customs supervision helps improve logistics efficiency
The smooth launch of flights is inseparable from the strong support and facilitation measures of the regional customs clearance integration. Zhengzhou New District Customs took active actions and efficiently completed the supervision and release of export charter cargo. Through the innovative use of "safety smart lock + in-transit supervision system", visual monitoring of the entire process of cargo transportation was achieved, effectively optimizing the cross-border e-commerce export supervision process. This measure greatly improved logistics efficiency, reduced corporate operating costs, created a more relaxed and efficient development environment for cross-border e-commerce companies, and effectively promoted the vigorous development of cross-border e-commerce import and export business in the region.
With the opening of the cross-border e-commerce freighter route from Zhengzhou to the UK and the continuous improvement of Zhengzhou's air logistics network, Zhengzhou is expected to achieve more brilliant achievements in the field of international logistics in the future. On the one hand, it is expected to attract more international logistics companies to settle in, further enrich the logistics market players, and enhance the diversity and professionalism of logistics services; on the other hand, with the continuous improvement of logistics efficiency and further reduction of costs, it will attract more cross-border e-commerce companies and traditional foreign trade companies to choose Zhengzhou as a logistics hub for the import and export of goods, promote the continuous growth of foreign trade business in Zhengzhou and even Henan, occupy a more important position in the global trade pattern, and contribute to the construction of a more open and efficient international logistics system.
