The Beijing Daxing International Airport has resumed international cargo services and a full resumption of flights is expected next year, the airport said, according to the official Xinhua News Agency, as Chinese cargo carriers are ramping up efforts to enhance international cargo business.
The airport is working with all parties to continuously improve the air logistics service system in preparation for the full resumption of international cargo flights in the future, the Xinhua report said, citing an official at the 2022 China International Fair for Trade in Services in Beijing.
The designed cargo service aims to handle two million tonnes of cargo in the beginning, and this may double in the future, the report said. The airport is equipped with a runway for priority take-off and landing of cargo aircraft, and is equipped with 24 cargo aircraft seats, according to the official.
China air cargo services sector, which witnessed years of decline due to the epidemic, is now seeing an upward trend.

As of the end of June, SF’s international express services cover 84 countries and regions around the world, it said.
Cainiao Network, the logistics arm of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, said that it now provides B2B services to more than 100 countries and regions around the world, including door-to-door services to 64 countries and regions via shipping, cargo and land services.
YTO Express welcomed a Boeing 757 cargo plane last week, the sixth one introduced by the carrier this year, and the plane will be used in routes to South Asia, according to news outlet carnoc.com.
So far, YTO Express has opened eight regular international routes to South Asia, covering India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the Boeing B757 freighter with a one-way capacity of nearly 30 tons is the main aircraft being used for such routes. The express firm said it will open intercontinental routes to Europe and North America in the future.
