At 0:55 on July 5th, after a 4-hour flight, 10 tons of fresh grapes “took” a chartered plane from Urumqi and landed at Huahu International Airport. After transshipment, the grapes took the “grape flights” again and flew to 167 cities across the country before 5 a.m., achieving a perfect leap from “fresh on the branches” to “sweet on the tip of the tongue”.
In view of the high timeliness requirements for the transportation of agricultural products, in recent years, SF Express has contacted with fruit farmers in advance. According to the characteristics of different fruits, it conducts storage and transportation, provides professional air logistics solutions for cargo owners and fruit farmers, and optimizes on-site guarantee processes such as optimizing special vehicles, loading and unloading based on the booking plans of cargo owners and temporary arrivals of goods. Efforts are made to upgrade cold chain transportation services and efficiently guarantee the fresh transportation of agricultural products.
“Starting from the transportation of Hami melons in April this year, all fresh fruits are shipped in a centralized manner from Urumqi Diwopu International Airport, including small white apricots, small red apricots, flat peaches and grapes. Later, there will also be new plums, fragrant pears, apples, etc.,” said Cui Youming, the person in charge of the Airport Distribution Center of Xinjiang SF Express Co., Ltd. “The all-cargo aircraft route from Urumqi to Ezhou has realized next-day delivery to 167 cities across the country. It spans the length of time and retains the temperature of service so that the freshness of special agricultural products can be kept exactly the same.”
“Gathering in Ezhou and flying to the whole world”. Relying on its rich route network, Ezhou Huahu International Airport has built highly efficient “air bridges”, by successfully solving the problems of short shelf life and high transportation requirements of seasonal agricultural products. It enables “fresh goods” such as waxberries, lychees and cherries to take special flights, achieving a high-speed leap from the fields to the dining tables. Subsequently, professional air logistics “Huahu Solutions” have carried the wishes of the farmers to make a fortune.
