Against the backdrop of a deeply reshaping global supply chain, air cargo, as an efficient and high-value-added logistics method, is becoming a crucial force supporting world trade. As a major player in cross-border trade, China is attracting a rapid concentration of global air cargo resources, fueled by sustained e-commerce growth and manufacturing upgrades, establishing itself as an undeniable "New Magnet" for the industry.

Riding on this strong momentum, air cargo China 2026 will be held alongside transport logistic China 2026 from June 24–26, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). Exhibitor recruitment is at its peak, with exhibition space nearly sold out, highlighting the event’s remarkable international reach and diverse exhibitor profile.

Strong Recruitment Drives Significant Exhibition Growth

The exhibitor recruitment is at its peak, demonstrating significant expansion and diversification:

• The originally planned 12,000 sqm exhibition space for air cargo China is nearly fully booked, prompting the launch of an expansion plan to meet growing demand.

• A total of 125 companies from 25 countries and regions have already confirmed their participation, with 32.3% being first-time exhibitors, signaling strong interest from new market players.

• Exhibitor loyalty remains exceptionally high — 98% of returning exhibitors have chosen to retain or even expand their booth space, reaffirming the show’s enduring value as a platform for Asia industry connection and growth.

Twin Engines Power China's Air Cargo into a High Magnetic Era

China’s air cargo market is experiencing strong momentum, fueled by two powerful engines: cross-border e-commerce and high-end manufacturing. Platforms such as Temu, SHEIN, TikTok Shop, and AliExpress are tightly integrating "small-batch, high-timeliness" e-commerce logistics needs with air freight. At the same time, growing exports of high-value products like lithium batteries, biopharmaceuticals, integrated circuits, and robotics further reinforce reliance on air cargo for its security and efficiency.

This dual-force dynamic is accelerating the build-out of China’s global air cargo network, with air routes increasingly concentrated around four major airport clusters: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and Chengdu-Chongqing. As a result, China is becoming a top choice for international players looking to establish it as the Asia-Pacific transit hub.

Global Airlines Unite to Shape an Air Cargo Ecosystem

As a flagship event in the Asia-Pacific air cargo calendar, air Cargo China 2026 has attracted leading global airlines including Ethiopian Airlines, Etihad Airways, Saudia Cargo, Turkish Airlines, SkyTeam, Qatar Airways, Lufthansa Cargo, All Nippon Airways, Eastern Air logistics, China Southern Air Logistics, Cathay Pacific Airways, Air China Cargo, and YTO Express. Key hubs and service providers like Ezhou Huahu international Airport, Shenzhen Airport, Changi Airport, PACTL, Liege Airport, Flymeta, Global Link, UTLink, AAE Trade & Supply Chain, TianYi International, Smile Cargo, and Westwell are also participating actively. Together, these participants are building a comprehensive, integrated air logistics ecosystem, spanning infrastructure, services, equipment, and digital solutions — all under one roof.

A One-Stop Networking Platform for the Full Industry Chain

The co-location of air cargo China 2026 and transport logistic China 2026 creates resource integration and unmatched synergy across the logistics industry. Spanning 50,000 sqm of exhibition space and welcoming over 800 exhibitors from land, sea, and air logistics sectors, the event will feature offerings from logistics real estate, smart logistics, high-end equipment, project cargo, and cold chain logistics, forming a complete industry ecosystem.

More than 40,000 trade visitors are expected, including top decision-makers from manufacturing and logistics sectors such as 3C electronics, biopharma, e-commerce retail, and food & beverage.

Focusing on the Future: Exploring Air Cargo Innovation

air cargo China 2026 will also host a series of high-level forums, including Air Cargo Forum organized in cooperation with Azura International and STAT Media Group, offering in-depth analysis of industry trends and innovation pathways. In addition, 2026 World Air Cargo Awards, organized by Air Cargo Week, will once again honor companies and individuals making outstanding contributions in air cargo services, technological innovation, and sustainable development.
