## Description

UPS runs its Asia-Pacific hub here and SF Airlines, China's largest all-cargo carrier, keeps its headquarters at the No.1 Freight Depot of the International Shipping Center — Shenzhen Bao'an is an airport built around freight operators. The 2025 figures back that up: 2.05 million tonnes of cargo and mail, up nine percent and a record, with international and regional volumes topping one million tonnes for the first time. That made Shenzhen the third mainland Chinese airport to clear one million tonnes of import-export freight, after Shanghai and Beijing. The East Cargo Area spans 232,000 square metres with more than 1.6 million tonnes of annual capacity; a North Cargo Area is planned to add another 1.84 million tonnes by 2035. The freight base is the city's tech industry — Huawei, DJI, Tencent and thousands of electronics makers generate the high-value, time-critical goods air freight lives on, while cross-border e-commerce keeps climbing. In 2025 the airport deepened its smart-logistics reforms, applying digital-twin technology to speed customs clearance. Bonded zones such as Qianhai handle clearance, and the Yantian deep-water port within the city enables sea-air solutions. Hong Kong (HKG), the world's largest cargo airport, sits about an hour away by truck — useful routing flexibility for forwarders.
