As the 2025 winter-spring flight season begins, Shanghai Airport Authority (AVINEX) is witnessing a wave of new and expanded cargo routes connecting the city with North America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, reinforcing its status as a global air cargo hub.
Connectivity continues to improve. On Oct 26, China Cargo Airlines restarted its Shanghai-Los Angeles route with seven weekly flights. Malaysia Airlines raised its Shanghai-Kuala Lumpur flights to five per week on Oct 29 and later introduced new routes to Riyadh and Budapest.
The airport's increasing attractiveness comes from its efficient customs processes, modern infrastructure, and digital advancements. AVINEX has optimized cross-border e-commerce logistics, launched the AviPort digital platform for comprehensive management, and adopted a transfer model that eliminates the need for document exchange to enhance transit efficiency.
An intelligent cargo terminal, developed collaboratively with international partners, is in progress to establish new standards in smart operations. Between January and October, Shanghai managed 3.7 million metric tons of cargo and mail, a rise of more than seven percent compared to the previous year. Over 40 all-cargo airlines operated 64 destinations, enhancing its importance in global supply chains.
