Pudong’s China Eastern Cargo Terminal is still operating but with significantly reduced manpower leading to cargo planes departing without being fully loaded.

Shanghai International Airport Services Co was already warning of limited ground handling services at cargo terminals due to drastically reduced staff numbers as a result of Covid cases and strict new regulations which again have resulted in many flights leaving without having been fully loaded or unloaded.
