The development of aviation logistics is highly related to the development of regional economy, so the industry is mostly located in the economically developed areas in the east, with the first-tier cities such as North, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen and the core provincial capital cities as the center to form a regional concentration. AccordingChamp ConsultingThe forecast, 2023YearThroughout the yearGlobal Air Cargo Traffic to Grow 8.5 PercentTo 626010,000 tons; airline freight revenue of about 1610Billion US dollars, up 7.8 percent year-on-year. In the global air cargo market, China ranks second in scale, second only to the United States.。2023YearThroughout the yearChina's cargo airlines and all-cargo aircraft are 12Home, 200Rack, more 2020Annual increase of 1home, 14.Rack.

Shangpu Consulting believes that the regional pattern of China's aviation logistics industry has the following characteristics:

First, the eastern coastal areas are developing better. according to 2023In the first half of the year, the eastern region accounted for 76.5 per cent of the country's cargo and mail throughput.The three major hub airports in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen account for 35.6 percent of the country's total.. This is mainly due to the factors such as developed economy, active foreign trade, optimized industrial structure and high consumption level in the eastern region, and there is a strong demand for efficient and fast aviation logistics services. At the same time, the eastern region also has the advantages of relatively complete infrastructure, strong service capabilities, and high digital levels, which provide strong support for the aviation logistics industry.

Second, the central and western regions have great potential for development. according to 2023In the first half of the year, the central and western regions accounted for 23.5 percent of the country's cargo and mail throughput.The three major hub airports in Chengdu, Zhengzhou and Xi'an account for 10.4 percent of the country's total.. This is mainly due to the rapid economic growth in the central and western regions, the expansion of domestic demand, the acceleration of industrial transfer, the improvement of infrastructure and other factors, the demand for aviation logistics services is growing rapidly. At the same time, the central and western regions are also actively building platforms such as international air cargo hubs and cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones, providing new opportunities for the aviation logistics industry.

Third, the development of the northeast region lags behind. according to 2023In the first half of the year, the Northeast accounted for only 1.2 per cent of the country's cargo and mail throughput.Shenyang Taoxian Airport accounts for 0.4 percent of the country's total.. This is mainly due to the slow economic growth in Northeast China, sluggish foreign trade, backward industrial structure, low consumption level and insufficient demand for aviation logistics services. At the same time, the northeast region also lacks strong air cargo enterprises and specialized aviation logistics facilities, which restricts the development of aviation logistics industry.

The regional heat of China's aviation logistics industry is closely related to the level of economic development, the scale of foreign trade, consumption capacity and other factors. The eastern coastal areas are the hottest, followed by the central and western regions, and the coldest in Northeast China. This also reflects the unbalanced and inadequate development of China's aviation logistics industry.

In order to promote the high-quality development of the aviation logistics industry and achieve coordinated regional development, Shangpu Consulting believes that the layout should be optimized from the following aspects in the future:

One is to strengthen the international competitiveness of the eastern coastal areas. The eastern coastal area is the frontier of my country's opening to the outside world and the core area of my country's aviation logistics. It should continue to play its advantages and enhance its influence and voice in the global air cargo market. Specific measures include: accelerating the construction of Shanghai international air cargo hub and building the world's largest air cargo center; promoting the internationalization and specialization of airports such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and enhancing their status and role in the Asia-Pacific region; strengthening and“The Belt and Road Initiative”Air cargo cooperation with countries and regions along the route to expand emerging markets; accelerate the application of new technologies, new formats, and new models such as electronic waybills, intelligent sorting, and drone distribution to improve service quality and efficiency.

The second is to enhance the inland hub function of the central and western regions. The central and western regions are an important engine of my country's economic growth and a key area for my country to form a domestic cycle. We should make full use of their potential to enhance their role and influence in the domestic air cargo market. Specific measures include: accelerating the construction of international air cargo hubs such as Chengdu, Zhengzhou, and Xi'an, and creating inland open highlands; promoting the construction of comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zones at airports such as Chongqing, Kunming, and Urumqi, and creating new inland trade channels; strengthening cooperation The air cargo linkage between the eastern coastal areas and neighboring countries and regions will create a new platform for inland trade; accelerate the application of new technologies, new formats, and new models such as multimodal transport, smart warehousing, and cold chain logistics, and improve service levels and benefits.

The third is to promote industrial transformation and upgrading in Northeast China. Northeast China is not only an important industrial base and grain base in China, but also an important strategic support area for China to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. efforts should be made to solve its development dilemma and enhance its vitality and competitiveness in the domestic air cargo market. Specific measures include: accelerating the construction of modern cargo infrastructure such as Shenyang Taoxian Airport, and building an air cargo hub in Northeast Asia; promoting the characteristic aviation logistics formats of airports such as Harbin and Dalian, and building an aviation logistics brand in Northeast China; strengthening cooperation with Russia, Mongolia and other countries And regional air cargo cooperation to create an air logistics window in Northeast China; accelerate the application of new technologies, new formats and new models such as green logistics, intelligent logistics and shared logistics, and enhance the level of green and intelligent services.

In short, aviation logistics is an important support for my country's economic and social development, and it is also an important means for my country's opening up and domestic demand. In the future, China should optimize the regional layout of aviation logistics according to the development characteristics and needs of different regions, realize the high-quality development of aviation logistics industry, and contribute to the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern country.
