According to news on January 24, 2026, on January 22, a batch of 9610 cross-border e-commerce goods weighing 409 kilograms departed from Shenzhen and arrived in Qingdao on the Shandong Airlines Shenzhen-Qingdao domestic route.
The next day, this batch of goods successfully flew to Osaka, Japan on Shandong Airlines international flight SC4093.
The successful shipment of this cargo means that the “Shenzhen-Qingdao-Japan and South Korea” 9610 cross-border e-commerce cargo transfer channel jointly created by Qingdao Airport and Shenzhen Airport has officially opened and entered a new stage of normal operation.
In recent years, the cross-border e-commerce industry has developed rapidly, and the demand for the transfer of import and export goods has continued to increase.
Cargo transfer efficiency and logistics costs have gradually become key considerations for cross-border e-commerce companies when improving their core competitiveness.
As the core hub of my country’s cross-border e-commerce industry, Shenzhen’s demand for freight transport capacity from Japan and South Korea has always been high.
Qingdao Airport has the advantage of being an international hub gateway to Japan and South Korea. Passenger and cargo flights to Japan and South Korea have achieved high-density normal operations, and the average daily flight volume ranks among the best in the country.
Based on the industrial and locational advantages of the two places, Qingdao Airport, together with Shenzhen Airport and Shandong Airlines, with the strong support of Qingdao Airport Customs and Shenzhen Post Office Customs, innovatively launched the “9610 cross-border e-commerce cargo transfer” special business, and successfully built a “Shenzhen-Qingdao-Japan and South Korea” cross-border e-commerce air cargo channel.
The channel can be put into use smoothly, which is inseparable from the close cooperation between the customs of the two places.
The efficient customs clearance provides a solid guarantee for the stable operation of the business.
At the same time, innovative breakthroughs in cross-border e-commerce cargo transfer policies have also provided strong support for the efficient connection of air logistics between the two major customs areas.
Qingdao Airport Cargo Terminal, Shenzhen Airport Cargo Terminal and Shandong Airlines Cargo Terminal work closely together to greatly reduce the dwell time of cargo at the two airports, expand the scope of flight options for cargo owners, and ultimately achieve the dual goals of reducing logistics costs and improving transportation efficiency.
This innovative cooperation between Qingdao Airport and Shenzhen Airport not only builds a logistics shortcut for cross-border e-commerce companies connecting the South China and Japanese and Korean markets, but also lays a solid foundation for in-depth cooperation between hub airports.
In the future, Qingdao Airport will continue to deepen its gateway hub function for Japan and South Korea, further strengthen the “flight wave” coordinated linkage with international hub airports such as Incheon, South Korea, and Osaka, Japan, to inject strong impetus into the development of the regional cross-border e-commerce industry, and provide reliable aviation logistics support for the high-quality development of the local export-oriented economy.
