Ordos' first inbound all-cargo flight carrying fresh produce arrived at Ordos Ejin Horoo International Airport on May 30, marking a milestone in the city's international air cargo capabilities.

The Boeing 737-800BCF freighter departed from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, delivering 1,043 packages of imported goods weighing a total of 13,430 kilograms. The shipment included Thai pomelos, chilled groupers from the Philippines, and Thai clams, with the grouper and clams entering China via Ordos for the first time.

Ordos airport coordinated with local customs and immigration authorities to ensure fast customs clearance and product freshness.

A dedicated green channel for perishable agricultural products was activated, offering scheduled clearance services and implementing "inspection upon arrival" and "release upon approval" policies. As a result, the entire logistics process from origin to arrival was completed in just 36 hours.
