Preparing the peak season ex-Xi'an
Alibaba's logistics arm Cainiao Group has launched chartered flight between Xi'an (China) and Liège (Belgium). Performed by a B767-300F, the service operates twice a week, bolstering Cainiao's China-Europe cross-border delivery capacity ahead of the peak shopping season.
Upon arrival at the company's Liège "eHub", the goods are immediately processed for customs clearance and sorted for onward delivery. This process allows Cainiao to leverage air-to-ground transportation connectivity with important European markets such as Spain, France and Germany.
Cainiao Group VP William Xiong: "By expanding our airfreight capabilities, we are providing our merchants with faster and more cost-effective shipping solutions, while also ensuring that consumers receive their orders on time and with the best quality." (ah)
