Shenzhen air cargo restrictions ahead of APEC threaten peak shipments

Air cargo moving in and out of Shenzhen faces restrictions ahead of next week’s APEC summit, with operators announcing cargo embargoes, longer handling times, and changes to collection and delivery services.

The measures threaten to complicate peak season shipments through mainland China’s third-largest cargo airport, while forwarders warn that diversions will tighten space at neighbouring Guangzhou.

And elsewhere in the region, Taiwan’s cargo congestion is expected to delay freighter operations throughout Q4.

The APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting takes place in Shenzhen on 18-19 November, with the main cargo restrictions covering 16-20 November.
