All Cargo Planes Prepare For "Double Eleven" Overweight Cross Border Logistics

The courier companies are busy preparing for land. " Double Eleven "At the time, SF EXPRESS quietly worked hard in the air, and laid the layout for the next market growth point of cross-border e-commerce logistics.

26, reporters learned that Shun Feng Aviation and Boeing formally signed a 767-300ER order to modify the aircraft, while Shun Feng airlines also has the intention to become a Boeing 737-800B CF freighter startup customer.

All cargo aircraft prepare for "double eleven"

The SF airlines, which ordered Boeing aircraft, is SF EXPRESS's air cargo company officially launched in late 2009. At present, the number of all cargo planes of SF has reached 16, of which 8 Boeing 737 and Boeing 757 are counted as the whole cargo aircraft that has been leased. Now the total cargo service for SF EXPRESS has reached 36.

These freighters mainly serve the growing domestic express delivery market. Li Sheng, President of Shun Feng airlines, told reporters that as of last year, China had 101 cargo planes in China, of which 1/3 of them were "self owned + leasing" mode. During this year's "double eleven" period, the total daily shipment volume of 36 cargo planes for SF is 1800 tons, while the bulk cargo is expected to reach 3850 tons per day during the "double eleven" period.

The upcoming "double eleven" business Carnival has always been a tough battle for express companies. According to the forecast of rookie platform, this year's "double eleven" will generate more than 250 million orders of delivery on the same day, which will increase by 60% compared with 152 million in 2013.

In order to seize this market opportunity, the major express companies are laying capacity ahead of schedule. The largest private courier giant STO, who joined the alliance, predicted that the business volume of the "double eleven" Shentong will exceed 20 million votes this year. In order to ensure the smooth operation of Shentong's entire network, Shentong network has actively deployed in the fields, personnel and vehicles. At the same time, it called on all branches and branches to actively use price leverage to regulate the volume of express business.

This also means that STO may raise its price for the first time during the "double eleven" period. According to the data of the past three years, during the "double eleven" period, due to the fact that the price difference between the peak season and the low season has not been taken, the express company has invested heavily on the one hand, but on the other hand it has generally been embarrassed by the fact that the "increment does not increase", and the phenomenon of no profit or loss is more serious.

According to the reporter, at present, Shentong has asked all branches and grass-roots outlets to study specific price adjustment plans in the busy season according to their own operational capacity and increase in the volume of products that are reasonable and able to withstand, and will announce relevant price adjustment policies in the near future.

Scramble for cross border e-commerce logistics opportunities

And for the relatively late SF EXPRESS, which is involved in the domestic electricity delivery market, cross-border logistics And the cross-border electricity supplier market has become the focus of its efforts.

It is worth noting that, compared with the 737 and 757 planes previously owned by SF, the latest 767 cargo plane ordered by SF is the most suitable intercontinental long range model for the mid size freight market. The first 767-300ER BCF cargo plane will be received in 2015, which is obviously more suitable for the long distance international market.

"We have opened the express business in Australia, the United States and neighboring Thailand, Japan, Malaysia and South Korea, but at present, we rely mainly on external capacity. The purchase of long distance 767 cargo aircraft is indeed optimistic about the growth of international express, especially the cross-border electricity supplier logistics market." A SF EXPRESS official told our reporter that "we have recently found that the demand for growth in this market is very large, and the national policy has begun to support it."

In fact, as early as the end of last year, Shun Feng launched a website called "SFbuy" on a low-key basis, mainly targeting B2C's cross-border electricity supplier market, setting up navigation websites for overseas consumers and providing transshipment delivery services for "Hai Tao" consumers.

In August this year, SF also launched the "global Shun" for the delivery of B2B cross border electricity providers, providing temporary storage and transfer services for international business and bulk procurement of domestic independent e-commerce enterprises.

And moving the "sea" brain freight logistics company is not only a SF company. Reporters also learned from STO that Shentong set up a company in the United States of Losangeles, quietly on the west coast of the United States, through the absorption of the United States local franchisee, open up international business such as the United States special line, the domestic business mode to export. In addition, China Eastern Airlines logistics (600115.SH) has also developed an e-commerce platform, "East China origin direct access". It hopes to adopt B2B2C mode to purchase, transport and sell domestic fresh foods, fruits and vegetables, fresh dairy products.
