ZYL Launches 12 Charter Flights

While this mix of cargo wouldn’t be extraordinary for long-haul widebody freighter flights between two major cities, the connection between XIA and HAN illustrates a growing trend in which demand for luxury imports in even secondary cities is sufficient to warrant direct international freighter connections. Earlier this year, Wuhan-based Uni-Top Airlines commenced twice-weekly A300-600F flights between Kunming (KMG) and HAN. YTO Cargo Airlines and SF Airlines are also evaluating new destinations in Central Asia and Southeast Asia from Central Western China as they seek out “Belt and Road” opportunities.

After Moovit Launches 12 Charter Flights wee need more give attention to FBAP. Many FBAP providers today offer products and services that go beyond traditional freight audit and payment offerings. These often include transportation management solutions and analytical tools that allow customers to better manage their global supply chains. At the same time, expectations for more timely reporting continue to rise.

The growth of e-commerce also is changing the FBAP industry. With more consumers buying online, a growing portion of shipments are small parcels. “The increase in small parcel and package shipments creates a substantial amount of data, which must be captured for reporting and mining,” says Allan Miner, president of CT Logistics, a provider of FBAP services. “Final-mile costs and details add significant data and information for reporting and measuring carrier performance.” Freight bill audit and payment service providers can capture and leverage this information.
