Cross-border e-commerce is a new retail model of “Internet + foreign trade”, which has high requirements for product transportation timeliness and product replacement speed. Traditional sea transportation takes a long time. For cross-border e-commerce, the timeliness of the “last mile” is extremely important, which is not only related to the customer’s user experience, but also to the continuity of corporate development.
From the perspective of the industry characteristics of cross-border e-commerce, air parcel transportation has always been the preferred mode of transportation for cross-border e-commerce. With the increasingly standardized development of the cross-border e-commerce industry, a single multiple air parcel has been difficult to meet the rapid development momentum of some companies. Therefore, many companies choose to use overseas warehouses as an overseas stocking model. The use of this method has made air transportation widely used.
Air transportation refers to the use of airplanes, helicopters and other aircraft to transport personnel, goods, and mail from one country or region to a warehouse in another country or region, and then the local commercial express company delivers the goods to the hands of consumers. Compared with sea transportation, air transportation has higher timeliness and relatively high costs.
