in the past, international fashion consumer goods such as cosmetics, household goods and high-end boutiques in the italian-swiss economic circle could only enter the hainan free trade port through by sea transport and international air transit, which took 7-60 days. with the launch of the “china-europe fashion express”—the direct cargo charter flight route from milan, italy to haikou, the high-end boutique manufacturers in lombardy region of italy can have their products collected from the factory and transported to the airport, and sell on the shelves of the duty-free malls in hainan in two days.

bondex, as the leading domestic a-share main board listed providers of international supply chain services, has taken the construction of the hainan free trade port as an important strategy of the company, and vigorously integrated global resources and one-stop intelligent supply chain logistics services to help the development of the hainan airlines hub. based on the successful operation of more than 20 global cargo charter flights, the successful maiden flight of the milan-haikou regular route has made bondex the first company to operate international cargo charter flights at haikou and sanya airports simultaneously, contributing to hainan free trade port’s goal of “buying from the world and selling to the world”.
