.AlibabaGroup logistics arm launches Singapore-China air freight route
ALIBABA Group's logistics arm on Thursday launched its first Singapore-China air freight route, which it said will help it fulfil its commitment to 72-hour global deliveries and anticipate shipment surges from upcoming shopping festivals such as 11/11.
Cainiao Smart Logistics Network will operate four weekly chartered flights on the route between Singapore and Hangzhou. The new route will allow it to develop more value-added services down the road, including delivery time slot options, goods assembly and returns, and delivery of specialised goods such as medical supplies.
E-commerce merchants in South-east Asia could also use it to widen their reach to Chinese consumers, Cainiao Network said. "With the e-commerce boom in South-east Asia, we are ramping up our infrastructure in the region to better serve as the key logistics platform to fuel its continued growth," said James Zhao, general manager for global supply chain at Cainiao Network.
"The introduction of chartered flights between China and the regions, overseas warehouses and other infrastructure will help to create a more seamless and cost-effective logistics solution for e-commerce merchants, which in turn delivers more cost savings, greater convenience and a better experience for consumers."
