JINGDONG Logistics Expands Air-cargo Network with New Shenzhen–Singapore Route Through JD Airlines

Yuchuan Wang

JINGDONG Logistics, also known as JD Logistics, has launched a scheduled all-cargo service between Shenzhen, China and Singapore, further expanding its air logistics network across the Asia-Pacific region. On September 19, a JD Airlines Boeing 737-800BCF freighter, fully loaded with e-commerce parcels and high-end electronics, departed from Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport and landed at Singapore Changi Airport.

The new route, operated three times a week, provides a maximum single-trip payload of 22 tons. By offering regular, direct flights with stable schedules, JD Airlines enables high-value exports such as consumer electronics and smart devices from South China to reach Southeast Asia more efficiently.

While most of the outbound cargo consists of consumer electronics and e-commerce parcels bound directly for Singapore, a smaller share of time-sensitive goods will transit onwards to Europe and the U.S. Return flights will see shipments mainly include electronics routed from Europe and the U.S. through Singapore, along with local auto parts and e-commerce products.

JD Airlines currently operates more than 20 domestic and international cargo routes, including routes connecting China with South Korea, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia and beyond. Leveraging JINGDONG Logistics’ integrated network of warehousing, transportation, and last-mile delivery, JD Airlines remains committed to enabling smoother and faster global trade.

One of the first recipients, Mr. Wang, received his iPhone 17 Pro Max in Shanghai, within minutes of launch from a JD Now instant retail rider. Impressed by the delivery speed, he said: “It’s so fast! I must be the first among my friends to hold the new iPhone.”

Behind this “JD.com speed” is the company’s strong supply chain and logistics network. Ahead of the launch, JD.com secured ample stock, supplied directly by Apple, allocating inventory across nationwide warehouses, while also working with nearly 10,000 offline authorized stores to synchronize sales.

According to JD.com’s data, within one minute of pre-orders opening on September 12, iPhone 17 series sales surpassed last year’s full-day total, setting a new record. By 10 am on September 19, trade-in volume for iPhones was already four times higher than the same period last year. According to a data survey, over 80% of users chose JD.com as their preferred purchase channel for new iPhones this year.

JD.com continues to showcase the strength of its integrated supply chain and logistics capabilities, ensuring customers not only receive genuine products, but also enjoy fast and reliable delivery.
