Hangzhou Airport Launches Domestic-to-International Through Transfer Service

On February 19th, it was learned from the Hangzhou Area of the Zhejiang Free Trade Pilot Zone that Hangzhou Airport has launched the domestic-to-international through transfer service. This marks the start of the "through bill" transfer mode for domestic-to-international goods, further enriching the multimodal transport scenarios and pressing the "accelerator button" for international transfer business.

In recent years, relying on the high - quality air - route resources of the airport, the Hangzhou Area of the Zhejiang Free Trade Pilot Zone has promoted multimodal transport services such as "truck flights", "coordination between the bonded area and the port", and "air - to - air transfer" at the airport port. The opening of the domestic - to - international channel means that Hangzhou Airport has completed the last piece of the "puzzle" for the four "air - to - air transfer" modes.

Recently, a batch of 2.8 - ton clothing goods were transported from Xiamen to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport. Then, at the arrival warehouse of Hangzhou Airport Logistics Company, they were transferred via the air - side route and then took Flight JD605 from Hangzhou to Madrid. This is the first time that Hangzhou Airport Logistics Company has ensured the domestic - to - international cargo transportation in the "through bill" mode. The opening of this mode provides a convenient new channel for on - site cargo transportation.

The "through bill" transfer mode means that goods only need one air waybill to complete the through - flight air cargo transportation across different airlines. It is reported that in the past, domestic - to - international goods had to be transferred through multiple documents and multiple links in the "air - to - air transfer" mode. That is, after picking up the goods upon domestic arrival, they were transferred via the land - side to the international cargo terminal, and then re - received with a new waybill number.

Under the through - bill transfer mode, goods can complete the through - flight transportation with the same waybill number, connecting the cargo transportation information chain. At the same time, after arriving by domestic flights, the goods do not need to leave the warehouse and can be transferred via the air - side route, effectively simplifying the transfer business process and achieving direct through - bill transportation of goods.

It is reported that in the future, Hangzhou Airport will further tap the potential of "through - bill transfer" transportation to help more goods flow smoothly around the world.
