CAAC deputy director Han Jun told a State Council press briefing that during the
15th Five-Year Plan the authority will build a resilient, diversified and secure
air cargo system. Priority measures include: opening international cargo
corridor networks to raise transport efficiency and multi-route redundancy,
strengthen links with emerging-market cargo hubs, and build an international
route network coordinating freighter and belly capacity across traditional and
emerging markets to expand global coverage; enhancing cargo functions at major
hubs — notably Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Chengdu — and scaling
specialized cargo airports such as Ezhou, while supporting export-heavy
provinces lift international air‑cargo capacity via hub airports; upgrading
airport cargo facility adaptability; cultivating diversified air-cargo firms and
supporting Chinese freight carriers to scale up and transform into integrated
logistics providers; and driving cost reduction and quality/efficiency
improvements across air logistics.
