Shanghai airports, one of China's three major all-dimensional international aviation hubs designated by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Civil Aviation Administration of China, has unveiled a new transit brand — "Shanghai to the World, Seamless Transfers" — aimed at enhancing its role as a global gateway.

The brand introduces six key transit products — three for passengers and three for cargo — including air-to-air, inter-airport, and air-to-ground transfers. For passengers, 14 airlines now offer through check-in services at Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

A new inter-airport connection, integrating the city airport rail line with the Airport Link service, has reduced travel time between Hongqiao and Pudong airports to just 40 minutes. Off-site city terminals in Suzhou and Kunshan, Jiangsu province — including China's first to offer both domestic and international check-in — allow travelers to complete formalities before arriving at the airport. Future integration with Shanghai East Railway Station will create a major multimodal transport hub.

On the cargo side, air-to-air waybill transfers at Pudong Airport streamline customs procedures and reduce costs, while mutual recognition with Hongqiao enhances operational efficiency. Off-site cargo terminals in Suzhou and Kunshan further strengthen air-rail logistics links.

Eight enhanced transit services — from 24-hour rest zones and multilingual navigation to contactless Wi-Fi and free half-day city tours for passengers with layovers over eight hours — make the Shanghai transit experience more seamless and comfortable than ever.
