At 10:21 AM on March 19th, a China Postal Airlines B737-800F freighter, fully loaded with 14.8 tons of postal and commercial cargo, took off from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and landed at Clark International Airport in the Philippines at 12:11 PM. This marked the official opening of China Postal's "Guangzhou-Clark" international cargo route.

The "Postal Aviation Hub + Postal Airlines International Route" model signifies the official launch of a self-controlled international aviation network in South China.

This flight was the first to receive ground handling services from the South China Postal Aviation (International) Hub Center, marking its official trial operation. Located airside at the airport, the hub center is managed and operated by postal staff who oversee dispatch and production tasks. Furthermore, the South China Hub has established seamless connectivity with airport logistics, China Southern Airlines Logistics, and ground handling services. It has also pioneered a coordinated operation mechanism involving postal services, airport cargo terminals, China Southern Airlines Logistics, and customs. As the first fully integrated smart air logistics gateway in China to provide end-to-end visibility, paperless operations, and digital management for mail, the hub center utilizes an intelligent pre-screening system and a digital customs platform. This innovation reduces customs clearance time for postal, commercial, and cargo shipments to under two hours.

The destination of this route, the Philippines, is located at the heart of Southeast Asia. The "Guangzhou-Clark" freighter serves as an aerial trade bridge, closely linking the Greater Bay Area with the Philippines and surrounding regions. This route will significantly support Greater Bay Area businesses in more conveniently bringing their products to the Philippine market.

The launch of the Guangzhou-Clark route and the South China Hub's trial operation mark another breakthrough for Guangdong Postal Service in constructing a self-controlled international logistics network. In the near future, Guangdong Postal will open additional international routes, such as "Guangzhou-Dhaka" and "Guangzhou-Liège," continuing to provide cross-border e-commerce and high-end manufacturing industries in the Greater Bay Area with a three-dimensional logistics solution—combining route networks, hub centers, and ground services—to ensure end-to-end international supply chain support.
