New breakthroughs in China's shipping industry in 2021 |
New breakthroughs in China's shipping industry in 2021 In 2020, the sudden outbreak of Covid-19 disrupted the order of social operation and greatly impacted the development of civil aviation. With the significant strategic achievements in the prevention and control of the epidemic in China, the pace of resumption of work and production is accelerating. In order to help countries fight against the epidemic and realize economic recovery, "Chinese brands" and "Made in China" are urgently needed to be shipped to all parts of the world. Faced with the problems such as the sudden reduction of belly cabin, the soaring freight rate and the difficulty of security, China's air cargo industry has made concerted efforts to face up to the difficulties, not only ensuring the smooth operation of the industrial chain and supply chain, but also accelerating the pace of its own development. The delivery of supplies is helping to control the epidemic and get back to work After the outbreak of the epidemic, the suspension of passenger flights directly led to a significant reduction in passenger cabin capacity. In order to get epidemic prevention materials in first, then out, CAAC 2020 responded quickly, took constant measures and achieved remarkable results. Began in March 2020, the civil aviation transport enterprise COVID - 19 notice financial support policy during the period of epidemic prevention and control of epidemic prevention and control during the international air cargo to establish "green channel" notice of examination and approval on the precise completes the international air cargo crew epidemic prevention and control work notice "for the civil aviation transportation enterprises during the period of epidemic prevention and control stability and promote international freight ability to implement financial support policies, such as policy have issued, flight routes for transport during the outbreak and epidemic prevention has set up a convenient channel, simplify the procedure of examination and approval, provide financial support. Aircraft from all over the world came to China this year to transport supplies. Aircraft of AN225, AN22, A400M, C17 and C130 appeared at Chinese airports. During the epidemic period, Chinese airports were like holding one aviation and aerospace exposition after another. Due to the shortage of cargo capacity, freight rates on international airlines have climbed to more than 200 yuan per kilogram, and many Chinese airports have experienced rare "overloading" phenomenon. In order to better serve China's manufacturing industry and help other countries fight the epidemic, all cargo planes in China will be fully utilized by 2020, and the aircraft utilization rate will reach its peak. Faced with the plight of insufficient cargo capacity, many airlines seek for innovative breakthrough and carry out "passenger cargo" business. According to statistics, passenger to cargo flights will account for a quarter of China's total cargo flights in 2020. Many airports have set up "green channels" for the support of epidemic prevention materials, launched contingency plans for "exploding warehouses", added ground equipment, increased support personnel, improved work efficiency and improved service level. Enhancing comprehensive service for economic and social development through integration China will be the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth in 2020. The bucking development of China's air cargo industry benefits not only from the rapid recovery of China's economy and manufacturing industry, but also plays an important role in giving full play to the advantages of China's super-large market and the potential of domestic demand, and building a new development pattern of mutual promotion of domestic and international double cycles. In August 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Civil Aviation Administration and other 13 departments jointly issued the Implementation Plan for Promoting the Deep Integration and Innovative Development of the Logistics Industry Manufacturing Industry, which pointed out the direction for the in-depth collaboration and innovative development of the logistics industry and the manufacturing industry. This year, 22 customs offices directly under Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou and other municipalities carried out trials of cross-border e-commerce business-to-business (B2B) export supervision, adding "9710" and "9810" modes of trade. The mutual promotion of air cargo and customs clearance has boosted the rapid recovery and development of China's import and export trade. This year, Changchun, Nanning, Fuzhou three airport economic demonstration zones were approved, the national airport economic demonstration zones increased to 17. Airport economic demonstration zone plays an important role in the introduction of aviation industry, the improvement of supply chain and the integration of industry and city. Over the past year, the air cargo industry has actively helped the country fight the battle of targeted poverty alleviation. Charters for epidemic prevention materials, chicken seedlings, cherry, cantaloupe, beef and mutton, etc. Charters for poverty alleviation and agriculture, as well as efficient delivery of various agricultural products to all parts of the country through belly cabin, have become the mission of air freight carriers. In 2020, the importance of air cargo for China's manufacturing industry going abroad has been fully reflected. In the turbulent international situation, it has become the mission and mission of all Chinese logistics enterprises, especially air cargo enterprises, to escort Chinese manufacturing and high-tech enterprises to the sea and provide safe and efficient logistics solutions. In this year, while constantly improving their service capabilities, a number of air freight enterprises such as Post Office and SF Express took the initiative to connect with Huawei and other domestic enterprises to provide customized logistics solutions, thus becoming the logistics service providers for many Chinese enterprises. Recognize the lack of air cargo capacity improvement The COVID-19 epidemic has accelerated the change of the thinking of "heavy passenger and light cargo" in civil aviation, and the improvement of air cargo capacity has become a hot topic in China's civil aviation in 2020. In the epidemic, China's air cargo industry has been highlighted by the shortage of cargo cargo capacity, weak international transport capacity, insufficient professional support facilities, insufficient cargo flight time, backward information construction, and the need to strengthen the integration with the manufacturing industry. The Eighth Financial and Economic Commission of the CPC Central Committee pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the construction of international air cargo capacity and foster and expand internationally competitive logistics enterprises. The State Council executive meeting deployed plans to further enhance China's international air cargo capacity and strive to stabilize the supply chain. The civil aviation administration specially established to promote the development of aviation logistics work leading group, issued "about further optimize cargo airlines flight management policy notice" goods or flights time allocation policy the ability to improve aviation logistics comprehensive guarantee to pilot work plan and other documents, put forward three measures to improve the efficiency of aviation logistics "the last kilometer". First, improve infrastructure support capacity; Second, increase the intensity of technological innovation; Third, we need to create a favorable environment for development. The National Development and Reform Commission and the Civil Aviation Administration also jointly issued a guideline on promoting the development of air cargo facilities. The high attention of the country and the industry has strengthened the confidence and determination of China's air cargo operators to face up to the problems and forge ahead. This year, SF Airlines introduced 3 Boeing 757 freighters, China Southern Airlines and China Cargo Airlines respectively introduced 2 Boeing 777 freighters, China Post Air and China State Air respectively introduced 2 Boeing 737 freighters, Central Plains Longhao Airlines, Tianjin Cargo Airlines and Northwest Cargo Airlines respectively introduced 1 Boeing 737 freighter. At the end of 2020, China's mainland airlines had 178 cargo planes, excluding the cargo planes withdrawn by airlines. This year, Shanghai Pudong Airport, Shenzhen Airport and other comprehensive air cargo hubs have introduced a large number of cargo flights with their advantages of sufficient security resources and rich operation experience. Ezhou Airport, a professional cargo hub, has started the construction of SF Airlines' base, which is scheduled to be put into operation by the end of 2021. At that time, China's air cargo industry will form a professional air cargo hub and comprehensive air cargo hub complementary development pattern. Over the past year, the multimodal transport service system between air and rail, road and water has been further developed. China Eastern Airlines, SF Express and others have launched air and rail combined freight products with China Railway Express; China Southern Airlines Logistics opened the Greater Bay Area truck flights and established a logistics customer service center; Many postal and other logistics companies use sea and air transport to deliver international express goods. This year, the cargo and mail volume of CAAC reached 6.766 million tons, equivalent to 89.8 percent of 2019, even though the belly compartment of passenger planes carrying about 70 percent of the cargo volume was largely grounded. The airport's cargo handling capacity reached 16.079 million tons, down only 6 percent year on year. From March to December 2020, the volume of industry-wide guaranteed cargo flights increased by 89% year-on-year. Enterprise transformation will comprehensively enhance core competitiveness In 2020, the pace of mixed ownership reform of freight and material enterprises under the three major airlines will accelerate significantly. In November, Cainiao Network, Shenzhen International, China Reform Double 100 Development Fund and Air China Cargo employee shareholding platform invested 4.852 billion yuan to increase capital to Air China Cargo, accounting for a total of 31% shares. In the same month, China Southern Air Cargo Co., Ltd., with a registered capital of RMB 1 billion, was approved by the Central South Administration of Civil Aviation. In December, China Southern Airlines Logistics introduced a number of investment subjects and implemented employee shareholding. In addition to China Eastern Airlines Logistics, which has entered the IPO (initial public offering) preliminary audit, the reform of mixed ownership enterprises in the three major air freight sectors has entered the substantial stage. It has become a consensus in the industry to transition from a cargo airline with only cargo planes to a comprehensive logistics service provider that integrates capacity provision, cargo station guarantee, ground transportation and multimodal transportation. However, how to avoid the homogenization competition and choose the appropriate development path is a problem that needs to be deeply thought and planned in advance. Over the past year, SF Group has made efforts in aviation, express delivery, cold chain, international and other aspects. Cargo planes have been introduced one after another, Ezhou airport construction is in full swing, express overseas layout is accelerated, and business scope continues to expand. Following the acquisition of DHL's supply chain business in China and a joint venture with UPS in Hong Kong, its subsidiary SF Express raised $300 million in convertible bond financing in March 2020. The globalization of SF Express Group borrowed from the acquisition and investment of FedEx. The key is to ensure the precise target of acquisition and investment, and the rapid integration after acquisition to achieve the effect of a tiger with wings added. This year, JD Group is bidding against Amazon, a major e-commerce company in the world, to accelerate its layout in the field of air cargo. In May, Nantong Airport Group bought a stake in JD Cargo Airlines. In August, JD Logistics acquired Transcend, which has an air cargo network advantage, for 3 billion yuan. In October, jingdong group reached a strategic cooperation with anhui wuhu government, plans to invest 95 billion yuan to build the world's super port, including airlines, jingdong cargo shipping base camp, jingdong university institute of aviation, airport industrial park, such as aviation industry cluster, and draw the blueprint - plan in 2045 fleet of 500 aircraft, cargo throughput of 8 million tons. Progress has been made in the application of information technology In 2020, emerging technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and automation will begin to be used for the transportation and security of air cargo. In August, SF Express FH-98 large UAVs made their first cargo flight under business scenarios successfully. In December, the drone used cold chain straight hair mode to transport mutton, greatly improving the efficiency of feeder logistics. In July, Beijing Daxing Airport fully launched the intelligent unified security check system, which uses artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and automation technologies to realize the electronic and paperless operation of the whole cargo security check process, greatly improving the efficiency of cargo security check. Over the past year, many airports have improved and innovated their aviation logistics information platforms based on their actual conditions, provided real-time cargo query functions, and encouraged upstream and downstream enterprises of air cargo to share information platforms and cargo data. Several airlines have expanded the use of electronic waybills and increased their use rate. In this year, with the vigorous promotion of Civil Aviation Administration of China, the first official aviation electronic cargo information service platform in China was launched at Zhengzhou Airport. The platform has four core functions of government supervision, inquiry and statistics, public service and value-added service. In the next step, Zhengzhou Airport will invite airline freight agents to participate in the application test of the platform to ensure that it is practical, applicable and easy to use. At the end of 2020, the China Air Transport Association issued the Regulations on Air Logistics Information Exchange, which standardizes and sets up standards for air cargo information flow and process data. At the same time, the public information platform of aviation logistics has been included in the overall promotion of "China Civil Aviation Intelligent Supervision Service Project". With the launch of freight electronic information service platform and the establishment of logistics information standard, China's aviation logistics information construction has finally taken a solid and powerful step forward.
