January 7, 2025 -- JD Logistics, also known as JINGDONG Logistics, has officially launched a new international air cargo route connecting Shenzhen, China, with Bangkok, Thailand. Operated by JD Airlines, the maiden flight departed Shenzhen at 10 AM on January 3, 2025, carrying a full load of cross-border e-commerce goods to Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.
The route will be operated three times per week, catering to cross-border transportation needs. It primarily facilitates the shipment of Chinese products such as electronics, apparel, small appliances, and industrial manufacturing items, to Thailand, while enabling the export of Thai seafood and fruits to China.
With the launch of the new route, JD Logistics leverages its extensive overseas transportation and delivery resources to ensure efficient distribution in Thailand. The route will also be positioned as a key transit hub for onward shipments to Europe and North America.
In October last year, JD Airlines launched a cargo route between Shenzhen, China, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, operating two to five flights on the route per week. This route not only facilitates the transport of e-commerce goods but also supports the shipment of fresh products from Malaysia to China. Notably, cold chain solutions are employed for durian transportation. Flights transporting durians depart Malaysia in the evening and arrive in Shenzhen at night, where the durians are promptly cleared through customs. By the following morning, fresh Malaysian durians are delivered to supermarkets and fresh produce markets across South China, completing the journey in as little as 24 hours.
JD Logistics also operates multiple self-operated overseas warehouses, collaborative warehouses, and robust transportation and distribution networks in Southeast Asia, offering 24-hour fulfillment benefiting from enhanced supply chain efficiency for brands and merchants.
Earlier in December, JD Logistics unveiled its international expansion roadmap, in which the company will accelerate the growth of its “three networks”: the global warehouse network, express delivery network, and the air freight network, with the goal of establishing a “2-3 Day Delivery Circle” in dozens of overseas markets.
