On the morning of September 10th, at Cainiao's 2025 Global Smart Logistics Summit, Cainiao Group and Qatar Airways Cargo officially announced the launch of a long-term strategic partnership, comprehensively upgrading their bilateral relationship to jointly enhance cross-border e-commerce logistics experience.

According to reports, leveraging Qatar Airways Cargo's global route network and exceptional operational capabilities, Cainiao will more than double its weekly cargo flights on core China-to-Europe routes, enhancing capacity density, flight stability, and cargo space guarantee. This will provide cross-border e-commerce platforms like AliExpress and merchants with more flexible shipping time options and stronger fulfillment certainty, helping them confidently handle promotional peaks and improve overseas consumer shopping experiences.

Wan Lin, CEO of Cainiao Group, stated: "Qatar Airways Cargo is a globally recognized leader in the cargo industry. This deepened cooperation further solidifies the competitiveness of Cainiao's global logistics network and demonstrates our commitment to continuously improving international logistics service quality."

Wan Lin further noted that following the industry-leading "Global 5-Day Delivery" cross-border logistics express product launched in 2023, Cainiao has continuously iterated and upgraded its product capabilities. The enhanced capacity on key routes will help Cainiao provide customers with faster, more stable, and more competitive international logistics services, continuously consolidating its leading advantage in the cross-border e-commerce logistics sector.

Mark Drusch, Chief Cargo Officer of Qatar Airways Cargo, commented: "China is one of the world's most important trading partners and a core source of air cargo demand. By deeply integrating Qatar Airways Cargo's global network and advanced fleet with Cainiao's leading advantages in e-commerce logistics, we will jointly provide customers with efficient and high-quality global logistics services. This strategic alliance not only responds to the rapid growth demand of global e-commerce but will also strengthen our market influence in this globally busiest and most strategically significant trade corridor."

It is understood that the cooperation between Cainiao and Qatar Airways Cargo began in 2021, achieving significant results over the years in air capacity guarantee, logistics network optimization, and efficiency improvement. The upgrade to long-term strategic cooperation reflects the deep mutual trust between both parties and their shared vision for the future development of global e-commerce logistics. In the future, both parties will continue to deepen collaboration, fully unleash cooperation potential, further improve China-Europe trade flow efficiency, and continuously establish new benchmarks for cross-border logistics services.
