Join hands with the "the Belt and Road" to jointly build a radiation center in South Asia and Southeast Asia
Since the establishment of the Yunnan base at the end of 2016, Youhe Daotong Group has developed rapidly. Under its umbrella, Youhe Daotong Airlines has officially opened five international freight routes from Yunnan to South Asia and Southeast Asia, including Kunming=Dhaka, Kunming=Delhi, Kunming=Mumbai, Kunming=Madras, and Kunming=Hanoi, with over 40 flights per week. The main source of goods is high value-added products, effectively driving the rapid growth of international cargo and mail throughput at Kunming Airport, and contributing to building a "golden channel" for cargo between Kunming and South Asia and Southeast Asia.
As the strategic fulcrum for the connection and intersection of the "the Belt and Road", Yunnan has the location advantage of radiating South Asia and Southeast Asia, and has huge development potential. This is also highly matched with the development strategy of Youhe Daotong Group's focus on exploring the South and Southeast Asian markets. Youhe Daotong Group is also actively cooperating with the development needs of Yunnan Province and Kunming City, and will increase efforts to layout South Asia and Southeast Asia routes, and encrypt freight routes to India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and other countries. At the same time, Youhe Daotong Group will build an international logistics park in Kunming Comprehensive Bonded Zone and Airport Economic Zone. In addition to route development (aviation logistics), it will start to settle in Kunming in an all-round way from bonded, warehousing, supervision, cross-border e-commerce and other businesses, comprehensively promote the development of Kunming's international logistics, actively integrate into the national strategy of "the Belt and Road", and actively promote the construction of Kunming into a radiation center facing South Asia and Southeast Asia.
