For bulk shipments of 40-50 cubic meters per consignment, Tier 1 city airports often struggle due to limited bellyhold capacity (10-20 cubic meters per flight). Tier 2 hubs like Chengdu, Harbin, and Nanjing, supported by dedicated cargo networks and government incentives, have emerged as optimal choices for large-scale exports. For instance, Chengdu Shuangliu Airport can handle single shipments exceeding 100 cubic meters, while cities like Xiamen and Hangzhou further reduce logistics costs through route subsidies.
Core Advantages: Policy Incentives and Capacity Upgrades
To attract international cargo flows, Tier 2 cities offer lucrative incentives: Quanzhou provides annual subsidies up to RMB 15 million for new cargo routes, while Guangzhou grants RMB 40 million for Americas/Europe routes. Dedicated cargo routes like Harbin-Moscow and Nanjing-Chicago can load 50-80 cubic meters per flight—10 times the capacity of passenger bellyholds.
