A key cog in the logistics wheel

It might still be more than two weeks away, but Eastern Air Logistics Co, the freight unit of China Eastern Airlines, has been busy delivering exhibition products to the upcoming Nov 5 to 10 China International Import Expo in Shanghai, according to Wang Jianmin, vice-president and chief financial officer of the logistics firm.

The transporter says it has already accomplished several tasks related to the inaugural expo, including the delivery of the CIIE's very first exhibit - a 1,110-kilogram biofuel concept vehicle, which costs 30,000 euros ($34,500) and will be displayed in Finland's pavilion during the event. On Sept 24, EAL also managed the transport of an exquisite glassware exhibit, crafted by a Czech artisan.

"More and more exhibits are scheduled to arrive in Shanghai before the CIIE, and EAL will try its best to guarantee the quality and efficiency of its logistics service," said Wang.
