Why did SF buy the plane and what are the specific reasons?

I've summarized the following points:

The nature of passenger and freight transport is very different

The domestic passenger transport network is point-to-point, there is no real sense of transit hub transfer, passengers have long been accustomed to direct access, transit means time consumption. But from a transportation point of view, this is not the best choice for freight, transit is.

Freight is most concerned about the comprehensive transportation cost, and the design of domestic passenger routes cannot meet the requirements of the lowest comprehensive cost.

The aviation business lagged behind foreign countries by several decades

Compared with foreign giants, the "ammunition" of domestic express companies is stretched。Although it started early, China Post Airlines currently has less than 50 aircraft, while SF has 28 aircraft, plus more than 40 leased. In comparison, FedEx and UPS currently have 647 and 650 aircraft, respectively.

The only way for express delivery companies to transform and upgrade

In February this year, SF Express announced a news that surprised everyone a little - listing. The 23-year-old founder, Wang Wei, made it clear that "it will never be listed for money", and chose to embrace the capital market at this time, following the backdoor of YTO and Shentong, to seize the A** seat.

SF Express must not only maintain its brand image as 'efficient and safe' in the eyes of consumers, but also continue to widen the gap with its competitors, with a fleet size of at least 100 aircraft in the future. Zhao Xiaomin, an express delivery expert who has been observing SF Express for a long time, told Jiemian News.

Although SF Express has been buying planes, its competitors who are "not bad for money" have not shown weakness. Founded in 2014 and backed by Alibaba, YTO Airlines signed a 20-plane agreement with Boeing in February this year, and in December last year, Post Airlines signed the company's largest order in history - 17 Boeing aircraft, and the "air war" is about to break out.

Summary

This is a challenge for SF, which has no experience in airport management, but it is also a rare opportunity.

SF Express may have two intentions in building the airport, one is to build China's largest air logistics hub, maximizing the value of transportation, and the second is to develop an air logistics industrial park.

On April 17 this year, SF Group welcomed the company's 17th B757-200 full freighter, increasing the number of its all-freighter aircraft to 39, making it the largest cargo airline operating in China.

At noon yesterday, SF Group's official Weibo announced that under the witness of fans and SF employees, SF Airlines' 40th self-owned full shelf landed safely at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport. SF Express has unparalleled speed in domestic private express delivery, and its own air cargo is one of its biggest advantages. According to the data, the Boeing 757-200 is the main model of the Boeing 757 family, accounting for the majority of the Boeing 757 produced.

Take-off weights start at 220,000 lbs (99,800 kg) and can reach a maximum take-off weight of 255,500 lbs (115,900 kg) for large or long-range flights.

Wang Wei said that SF Express was not happy and bought a plane

I still remember a few days ago, because I said, "I feel unhappy with SF!" And Wang Wei, who is among the low-key "big guys"? Obviously, for SF, it is not new to send express delivery by road and high-speed rail, and it is also common for airplanes and cargo planes to transport express mail According to ** report:

In this judicial auction conducted on the ** website, SF spent 100 million yuan to obtain 2 Boeing 747s. After succeeding, SF Express did not forget to post the newly photographed plane on Weibo in a high-profile manner. It's really not low-key at all

Now SF Express is considered to be the fastest express, but Wang Wei said that the current express is still not too good, and SF Express is not too fast, and now it is necessary to use air freight to improve the speed of express delivery, and now it has also improved international standards.

Summary

SF bought a large plane again, just because Wang Wei said that SF was not fast, it would be transported by air.

SF Express has its own aircraft.

SF Airlines was approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China in December 2008 and is jointly funded by SF Express (Group) (85%) and Shenzhen Taihai Investment (15%).

The registered capital is RMB 100 million. It is planned to introduce three Boeing 757-200 freighters to operate domestic and international air cargo and mail transportation business and related service business, which will be put into operation in January 2010, with a total of 3 B737-400F, 8 B757-200F and 4 B737-300F freighters.

Service Network

1. Skynet

In 2009, SF Airlines became the first private cargo airline in China, and now it has developed into a cargo airline with the largest number of all-freighter aircraft in China.

In terms of the number of full freighters, the number of routes and the transportation capacity, it has maintained a leading position in the industry.

2. Ground net

After years of development, relying on resources such as terminal outlets, transit and distribution networks, transportation teams, distribution teams, and customer service teams, SF Express has built a nationwide express delivery network and expanded to major countries around the world. Through the dense trunk and branch line layout, a variety of tonnage operating vehicles, and cooperation with high-speed rail resources, the land transportation network is enriched. The warehousing network covers the whole country, providing full-scene integrated warehousing and distribution services for e-commerce, food cold transportation, pharmaceutical cold transportation and other industries.

3. Information network

Through comprehensive applications such as big data, blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and smart devices, SF Express has independently developed a complete set of smart network platforms, including SF Logistics' core operating systems, SF Map Platform, Big Data Platform, Information Security Platform, and Intelligent Operation and Maintenance Management Platform, etc., to build a solid chassis for intelligence, drive business decision-making, and facilitate the upgrade of smart logistics.

SF Express does not have cargo planes, but they generally take the scheduled routes of many companies, such as the Yangtze River, such as Okay, and Daxinhua.

SF Air Freight is like this, it has several of its own cargo planes, but most cities do not have them, and they take the cargo services of airlines.

SF Express does not have its own plane, the national industry, only China Post will have China's postal Feinianhong machine, so China Post. The speed is the fastest across provinces or borders.

SF Air Freight is SF's own aircraft, but it does not necessarily include those flying out of the country. This company has had its own aircraft for express transportation services for a long time.

In the case of downwind: If the aircraft takes off in a tailwind, the aircraft must reach a large taxiing speed to obtain the required lift from the ground, and the glide distance is relatively longer.

Whereas, when landing downwind, the relative velocity of the aircraft to the ground in order to gain the same lift.

It's bigger than when landing against the wind. This makes the speed of the aircraft at the moment of grounding larger, the taxiing distance longer, and the poor control is easy to cause potential safety hazards.

In order to ensure flight safety, it is stipulated that the wind speed downwind shall not exceed 5 meters per second, and once this limit is exceeded, the flight controller on the tower will change the direction of take-off and landing of the runway. Except in very special circumstances, it is absolutely forbidden for aircraft to take off and land when the downwind exceeds this limit. Therefore, in real operation, we will not take off and land in a tailwind that is larger than the specified amount.

1. SF Express generally has three modes of transportation, the first one is air transportation, which is also the most important mode of transportation, and usually the parts outside the province are transported by air.

2. The second is land transportation, some parts of the province that cannot be transported by air, you can choose land transportation, that is, railway transportation.

3. The third kind is the highway, which is generally the same city and the province are all trunk cars of the highway.

SF Express is not only air transportation, there are generally three modes of transportation:

The first is air transportation, which is also the most important mode of transportation, and usually the parts outside the province are transported by air.

The second is railway transportation, some of the parts outside the province can not be transported by air, you can choose the way of land transportation, that is, railway transportation.

The third is road transport, which is generally the same city, and the province is a trunk car with a highway.

*No**, SF Express generally has three ways to transport Qinglimb Spring:

1.Air transportation is also the most important mode of transportation, and the parts outside the province are usually transported by air.

2.For railway transportation, some parts outside the province that cannot be transported by air can be transported by land, that is, railway transportation.

3.Road transport, generally the same reputation of the city parts, the province parts are taken by the highway trunk car. Hungry locust.
