Airlift imported fruits directly reached Qingdao port

As the 1,400kg fresh cherry originated from New Zealand reached to Qingdao Airport recently, the designated port for imported fruit of Qingdao Airport officially launched operation. The National General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued letter to approve Qingdao Airport port to conduct imported fruit business. It means imported fruits can enter into China directly after quality-inspection in Qingdao Airport, instead of transferring through other ports. It further improves the function of the Qingdao Airport port and will greatly reduce logistics and time cost for imported fruit.

“In the past, most of fruits ate by people in Qingdao and neighboring areas are transferred from Guangzhou, Shanghai and other places.”The Qingdao Airport Logistics Co Ltd deputy general manager He Jun said, after the designated port for imported fruits of Qingdao Airport opened, Qingdao people can enjoy more fresh imported fruits in reasonable price.
