Firstly, due to the impact of the epidemic, agricultural transportation in monsoon paddy fields has been relatively hindered, and the demand for international air cargo sales has increased. The editor believes that due to the high demand for transportation capacity and the explosive demand for emergency cargo logistics during the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of air freight has increased, attracting funds and companies to increase their investment
Secondly, policy support is needed to accelerate the development of freight logistics. In 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Civil Aviation Administration jointly issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Development of Air Freight Facilities" Promote the orderly and healthy development of physical and mental health in China's air cargo and logistics industry. Qi Qi, an associate professor at Guangzhou Civil Aviation Vocational and Technical College, believes that the registration of air freight enterprises will enter new opportunities for development under relevant support policies
Third, the upgrading of the industrial structure leads to increased demand. In China, the processing and manufacturing industry is constantly soaring towards the mid to high end of the value chain, and high-quality air cargo must be the key support point. Qi Qi stated that the development of core industries in the relevant industrial chain has received full support and assurance, and participating in the deepening social division of labor in the relevant industrial chain has shown strong demand for air freight
Zhang Qing, Deputy Director of the Development Planning Department of the Civil Aviation Administration, believes that the systematic and logistics oriented development trend of air cargo requires higher regulations for air cargo. The next step is to comprehensively improve the application efficiency of air cargo facilities, improve the current policies for the introduction of cargo aircraft, improve route standards, cultivate air cargo companies, and build a fully functional and smoothly connected air cargo facility with a reasonable layout and a global air cargo network structure
"The final big competition for international air freight is whether there is an air freight internet covering the world, how many tons and kilometers of transportation capacity, and how long it can take to transport high-value goods overseas.
