JD Logistics Supports Delivery of Epidemic Prevention Materials from Guangzhou to Beijing
by Ella Kidron
Over the last few days, several cases of COVID-19 have cropped up around Beijing. To support the epidemic prevention response in the capital, JD Logistics, along with Guangzhou Railway Group and China Railway Container Transport Co., Ltd., supported the transfer of goods from Guangzhou to Beijing (approx. 2,300 km via rail).
A train with 40-cars of containers of masks, disinfectant and medication, food and other epidemic prevention materials departed Guangzhou on Jan. 18 in the afternoon.
This is the first special train from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater bay area to aid Beijing with epidemic prevention materials this year. The goods were transferred from JD Logistics’ warehouses in Guangzhou and Foshan to Guangzhou Tangxi Railway Freight Yard.
Guangzhou Railway Group then set up a special train for the materials to be transported to Beijing’s Dahongmen Station, from which they will be promptly delivered to JD’s storage center and then out to Beijing residents by JD Logistics.

JD Logistics Launches International All-Cargo Air Route Between Wuhu, China and Hanoi, Vietnam
JD Logistics, also known as JINGDONG Logistics, has officially launched a new international all-cargo air route connecting Wuhu, China with Hanoi, Vietnam—marking the first direct freight flight service from Wuhu to Vietnam. This new route builds on JD Logistics’ growing Southeast Asia air network, which already includes routes between Shenzhen and Bangkok, as well as Shenzhen and Kuala Lumpur.
Leveraging the strategic location of Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport (IATA：WHA) in China’s Yangtze River Delta, this new route enables efficient multimodal transportation across air, rail, road, and waterways, covering most of China’s core cities within 2-4 hours. The Wuhu to Hanoi route will primarily serve as a critical channel for exporting apparel, home appliances, furniture, and mechanical parts from eastern and central China to Vietnam, while facilitating the import of Vietnamese specialty goods into China. Operating 2–3 times per week, each flight can carry up to 20 tons of cargo.
The launch is part of JD Logistics’ broader strategy to build its “11668” global supply chain air network.
In recent years, JD Logistics has made significant progress in expanding its global end-to-end logistics capabilities. The company now operates over 100 bonded, direct mail, and overseas warehouses worldwide, managing more than 1 million square meters. In Southeast Asia alone, JD Logistics runs 7 overseas warehouses, supporting local businesses, Chinese brands expanding globally, and cross-border e-commerce sellers. In 2024, the company’s Southeast Asia business has more than doubled in volume year-over-year, driven by deepening strategic partnerships across the region.
JD Logistics is also rapidly expanding its cross-border air freight capabilities across Southeast Asia, with air routes now serving Vietnam, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Malaysia. Looking ahead, the company will continue investing in its three strategic pillars—overseas warehouses, international air freight, and global express delivery—as it works to build a seamless and efficient global supply chain logistics network for businesses and consumers worldwide.

JD Logistics Launches in South Korea with Self-Operated Warehouses in Icheon and Incheon
On April 24, JD Logistics (also known as JINGDONG Logistics), the logistics arm of China’s largest retailer JD.com, announced expansion into South Korea’s domestic supply chain logistics market. Two self-operated logistics centers are now fully operational in Icheon and Incheon, offering third-party logistics (3PL) and integrated supply chain solutions for businesses, with fulfillment speed as fast as 12 hours in Seoul and parts of the capital region.
The Icheon warehouse currently serves a South Korean e-commerce company, and is equipped with advanced automation technologies, including auto-packing machines and automatic sorting systems. These solutions have significantly enhanced picking and packaging efficiency. Facing fulfillment volatility risks, the client turned to JD Logistics to stabilize their supply chain. Within just one month, JD Logistics deployed a fully functional alternative logistics system complete with rapid resource mobilization and operational switchover to ensure a smooth transition and uninterrupted service.
Additionally, JD Logistics introduced a batch-based inventory system specifically for food items, allowing for tiered storage by packaging unit. This system-led picking process minimizes fulfillment errors and ensures better expiration date management—critical for maintaining food quality and customer trust.
A standout feature of the Icheon facility is JD Logistics’ intelligent warehouse operation system. Leveraging AI-based inventory optimization, popular SKUs are automatically reallocated to high-turnover zones. This dynamic reconfiguration, driven by real-time demand forecasting, enhances operational agility and enables deliveries in as little as 12 hours to Seoul and surrounding areas.
The Incheon logistics center provides end-to-end supply chain services for local beauty brands and a prominent U.S. consumer goods brand operating in South Korea.
“Consumers in South Korea expect fast and precise delivery,” said a JD Logistics representative. “The flexibility and accuracy of logistics operations have become core differentiators. By combining our automation capabilities with global operations expertise, JD Logistics is well-positioned to support local brands and enhance customer satisfaction.”
Beyond its local offerings, JD Logistics connects Korean products directly with Chinese consumers via JD.com’s cross-border e-commerce platform, JINGDONG Worldwide (JD Worldwide).
As JD.com ranks 47th on the Fortune Global 500 and fulfills over 90% of self-operated orders within 24 hours in China, JD Logistics continues to replicate its advanced logistics infrastructure and service expertise to support global brands and merchants. With over 100 bonded, direct mail and overseas warehouses globally, JD Logistics has established 2-3-day delivery services in key markets in Europe, North America, and more. In select regions, same-day delivery is also available.
