    "With regard to further promote the development of policies and measures for air cargo (draft)"
    
    In order to meet national economic and trade development of air transport needs of the air cargo industry-wide as the new economic growth point, and take effective measures to support the development of cargo, and achieved good results. In 2008, China has nine all-cargo airlines, all-cargo aircraft and 70, formed a certain scale of the domestic (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), international freight route network. Industry-wide passenger hybrid and all-cargo aircraft to transport cargo traffic 4.076 million tons, cargo turnover 11.96 billion ton-km. In the ICAO Contracting States scheduled cargo turnover ranking, China has ranked 2. Air Cargo China's economic and social development has made important contributions.
    
    While affirming the achievements, it should be noted: comprehensive national air cargo freight system, the proportion is low; uncoordinated development of passenger and freight, cargo growth rate lower than the overall passenger traffic; due to the impact of the global financial crisis, all Cargo airline operational difficulties; domestic freight uneven regional development, the contradiction between conspicuous; cargo airlines international competitiveness is not strong, the proportion of carriers on international routes showed a downward trend. Therefore, the air cargo air transport is still the weak link.
    
    Further improve the development level of air cargo is to promote sound and rapid development of civil aviation important task. At present, under the influence of the global financial crisis, the air cargo market, a serious recession, traffic dropped sharply; and the domestic large-scale railway speed, continuous extension of the highway network, as well as the further development of maritime transport; foreign air cargo giant has extended to China's cargo flights. These are on the air cargo development posed a new challenge. On the other hand, economic globalization, regional economic integration is the world's economic development trend will certainly speed up the trade development; the future of a long period of time, China will continue to maintain high economic growth rate, which in turn will provide a new air cargo space for development. In the long run, the global and China's air cargo is still broad prospects for development.
    
    To seize opportunities, meet challenges, so that the air cargo to better serve national economic and social development services, after investigation and study, is to further promote the development of air cargo made the following policy measures.
    
    First, the implementation of effective market access policy, and energetically develop the freight market
    
    (A) continue to encourage all-cargo airlines to establish branch offices, the establishment of freight distribution center. In conformity with the relevant conditions, priority approval of cargo airlines to set up branches, and from the building of storage facilities, flight times, etc. given support. New busy airports, the flight time in the future, due to the freight distribution center inclined to give the necessary time for cargo flights routes to support the cargo airline perfect hub-centric cargo transport network, to expand market coverage, and reduce the time of the aircraft outside the car park, improve aircraft utilization, lower operating costs.
    
    (B) continuing to relax the airline to buy rental cargo aircraft management. To encourage airlines to introduce various types of all-cargo aircraft to the rapid expansion of fleet size, expanding freight development strength.
    
    (C) encourage the establishment of air cargo forwarding companies to support large-scale air cargo agent enterprises to establish branches.
    
    (D) for the establishment of cargo airline has received an application to be eligible for approval.

    (Vii) the harmonization of customs departments, to improve the efficiency of cargo clearance. Customs clearance for goods to be part of the difficulties and problems, set up a special working group, with the customs authorities to establish joint meeting system to strive for the airport customs authorities as soon as possible to enable the timely completion of customs clearance of goods to the duty system, improve the efficiency of cargo transportation. To promote the realization of different parts of the customs clearance between the mutual recognition, so that goods can be off-site clearance and avoid duplication of inspection, the second clearance. Harmonization of Customs departments in the air customs clearance, electronic customs clearance and other facilitation measures.
    
    (Viii) to strengthen the coordination with the postal administrations and accelerate the "express green channel" construction, and promote the development of air express.

    (9) by the Civil Aviation Authority of organization building air cargo management system. With this system, publish the relevant policies, regulations, domestic airlines, airports and foreign airlines, airport cargo production information, domestic and international freight and air cargo, logistics development status, trends and enable airlines to understand the market information, science and make the production business decisions, optimize resource allocation.

    (13) Improve access to and exit mechanisms for cargo flights. The use of air rights to establish monitoring mechanisms, strict market entry and exit procedures, the actual route of the various companies operating conditions, for use of freedom rights in full flight plan implementation rate is not high, airlines, air traffic rights to recover its re-allocation.

Meteorological services to improve the night the timeliness and accuracy. Air traffic control departments should publish in time the weather facts and forecasts, providing airlines with the latest weather information. For the weather and other special reasons, the predicted flight was delayed and departure time is longer, the airport should be adjusted for the various security units to protect the delayed take-off time of cargo flights.
    
    (17) The relevant departments should develop an airport at night to protect the flight management approach to ensure that the night-time operations of aircraft are also well protected.
    
    (18) Vigorously promote the airport ground services business to a third party open.

    (24) to further improve the feeder subsidy policy to encourage training and development of freight feeder airlines.
    
    8, to encourage cargo airline mergers and acquisitions, restructuring and business cooperation, economies of scale play
    
    (25) for all-cargo airline small scale, lack of economies of scale of the situation, to encourage airlines to implement the acquisition, merger, restructuring, and as soon as possible a few have a certain size, can effectively participate in international competition, all-cargo airline.
    
    (26) To encourage the all-cargo airlines into the airline alliance to carry out code-share, cabin bag board, joint venture, swap space, the ratio of assessed a variety of operational cooperation.
