In collaboration with the All-China Journalists Association, JD.com invited nearly 40 journalists from 24 international media outlets on a media tour on August 30, including those from Austria, Brazil, Germany, India, Japan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, South Korea, Spain, Vietnam, and more. The visit showcased JD.com’s headquarters and Asia No. 1 Intelligent Logistics Park in Beijing, marking most journalists’ first encounter with JD.com. “The media tour was very informative and interesting to see the operations in real time,” said a journalist from Brazil. “We were able to have a close look at the complexity of JD.com’s supply chain system.”
Hui Liu, Director of Consumption and Industry Development Research Institute of JD.com, and Ping Zhao, Vice President of Academy of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, were invited to share their insights into the development of China’s supply chain and the integration of digital technology and the real economy.
“The value of JD.com’s supply chain no longer resides in commercial or industrial aspects, as it has evolved into the societal level, where it empowers partners and the society especially in critical times through its responsible supply chain,” said Hui Liu.
Ping Zhao noted, “The synergy of partners from upstream and downstream has become crucial for the entire industry, and an integrated supply chain would come in handy for enterprises, especially SMEs, to lower costs and enhance efficiency.”

JD Airlines (Jiangsu Jingdong Cargo Airlines), an affiliate to JD Logistics, has gotten its wings—receiving an air carrier certificate from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on August 31.
Currently employing more than a hundred technical personnel, JD Airlines leverages Nantong Xingdong International Airport as its principal base. On top of meeting the needs of JD Logistics’ integrated supply chain service’s clients, JD Airlines is also opening up its capacity to the market. It now serves industries including high-end consumption, high-end manufacturing, medical, fresh produce and more. A single load capacity can transport as much as 23 tons.
JD Airlines will first develop its domestic air cargo around China’s three major economic circles of the Yangtze River Delta, the Bohai Sea and the Pearl River Delta, with a focus on the cities of Nantong, Beijing, Shenzhen and Wuxi. It will soon extend its reach to cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, then Chengdu and Chongqing, and will gradually cover nationwide major cities and Southeast Asia, Japan and Korea and later in Europe, Middle East and North America by the end of 2025.
JD Airlines aims to improve the industry standards for air express service, and has already achieved a coverage rate of more than 95 percent for its air express delivery service among multiple cities in China.
JD Logistics began developing its air cargo business with airline companies in 2017. The establishment of JD Airlines will facilitate JD Logistics building a more flexible, stable and controllable supply chain ability.
