Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the CPC Central Committee and The State Council have attached great importance to the security and stability of China's international supply chain and industrial chain, proposed to comprehensively promote the construction of a modern circulation system, accelerate the strengthening of China's international air cargo capacity, and support the construction of a new development pattern。Improving the capacity of international air cargo is a systematic project, which cannot be solved simply by adding cargo aircraft。It is necessary to jump out of the single link of air transport, systematically examine the whole air cargo system, and find out the essence of things。
The development of air freight forwarding has two core elements, one is supply security, the other is logistics solutions。经营Air cargo agentBusiness enterprises (hereinafter referred to as air freight forwarders) play a key connecting role in the entire air cargo system, that is, air freight forwarders provide logistics or supply chain solutions based on meeting the entrusted needs of customers。The strength of a country's air freight forwarding enterprises directly affects the country's international air freight capacity。Compared with European and American countries, China's air freight forwarding strength is relatively weak, lack of leading air freight forwarding enterprises with strong international competitiveness, and China's economic development level and civil aviation development stage do not match。
To improve the international competitiveness of China's air freight forwarding enterprises, we must first speed up the construction of a competitive product system and formulate solutions。Strengthen timely product development, further improve the timeliness of cross-border logistics service performance, and strive to improve the professional level and improve the service capability of industry solutions。
Second, speed up overseas network coverage and improve global service capabilities。We will further strengthen overseas cooperation with China's industrial chain and supply chain，Aiming at the flow of cross-border e-commerce and the global expansion direction of China's industrial chain supply chain，Construction of cross-border e-commerce import and export, general trade, overseas warehouse direct service network，Accelerate international air logistics channels in Central Europe, North America, RCEP and countries and regions along the Belt and Road，Support Chinese enterprises in global procurement, global production, global sales and global service。Carry out multi-channel international cooperation, expand the market area, and strengthen the research and application of overseas institutions, regulations and business environment。
Third, strive to solve the transport capacity, strengthen the air transport capacity resources。To build a safe, smooth, stable and reliable international supply chain as the goal, through various means to support the air cargo transport agent enterprises to strengthen the control of air transport capacity;
Fourth, improve the application of technology, adapt to and lead the application of industry。
It can be said that improving the competitiveness of China's air freight forwarding enterprises is of great significance to improve China's international air freight capacity and improve the international circulation system。The deep-seated reasons for the short board of international air cargo are not necessarily in civil aviation, and the prescription is naturally not all in civil aviation。We should focus more on building the capacity of the entire system, not just the strength of a single air transport link, the number of cargo airlines or the number of total freighters。
