Chinese cargo airline Jiangsu Jingdong Cargo Airlines (JD Airlines) has signed an air charter service agreement with Shenzhen-based end-to-end supply chain solution provider Jayud Global Logistics.
The companies have established a new charter service on the Shenzhen to Clark, Philippines (CRK) route. This service began on December 16 and the companies further plan to o operate at least 100 round trips over the next year.
This is set to last for a year, with the potential for further collaboration based on the success of the route, commented Jayud.
Xiaogang Geng, chairman of the board and chief executive of Jayud, commented: “As we embark on this exciting new partnership with JD Airlines, we at Jayud are not just opening a new route; we are rapidly expanding our service footprint while narrowing the distances between cargo and end-markets.
“This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to providing efficient, reliable, innovative logistics solutions. The Shenzhen-to-Clark service is the next important step we are taking towards making a major impact in the air cargo landscape and enhancing global trade connectivity.”
Jayud Global Logistics offers a range of cross-border supply chain solution services, including freight forwarding, supply chain management, and other value-added services.
The company is active in 12 provinces in Mainland China and 16 countries across six continents.
The JD Logistics-affiliated JD Airlines was established in 2019, making Nantong Xingdong International Airport its primary operational hub. The airline centres its operations in key cities, including Nantong, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Wuxi. It has a presence in the air cargo market across major domestic economic sectors.
Recently, JD Airlines inaugurated international cargo routes such as Shenzhen-Ho Chi Minh and Nanjing-Dhaka.
