SF Express has always been the leader in the express delivery market in China with its fast, safe and high-quality service, and air express is also the first in SF Express;
From the end of 2002 to the first half of 2003, Guangdong, the base camp of SF, became the hardest hit area of SARS. Fortunately, SARS is more like an opportunity for the express delivery industry. Because many people choose to stay indoors, the delivery volume of express mail once increased. However, this is a huge test for SF's just-started national expansion strategy. Wang Wei's shrewdness is once again reflected.
During the epidemic, the airline business was very depressed. At the beginning of 2003, SF signed a contract with Yang Zijiang Express in the case of the air freight rate plummeting, becoming the first private express delivery enterprise in China to use all cargo planes.
The five 737 cargo planes of Changjiang Express are all rented by SF, and three of them are used to carry their own express mail. This all-cargo plane has a load of 15 tons and travels between three distribution centers in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou. In addition to the special plane, SF also signed agreements with a number of airlines to use more than 230 domestic routes for the transportation of express mail between cities across the country.
