Lufthansa’s high speed logistics arm, Time:matters has opened a courier terminal at Shanghai Pudong Airport. It will reduce handling times by up to two-thirds and it has direct apron access.
The tmCT can monitor shipments on the apron until loading and informs the customer proactively in the event of irregularities. There is also a designated receiving dock, an X-ray system, and a dedicated counter for documentation.
Handling times will be reduced from about four hours for exports and six hours for imports to 120 minutes and 150 minutes, respectively. The terminal is open 24 hours, 365 days a year.
The facility is being constructed in collaboration with terminal operator PACTL (Shanghai Pudong Int’l Airport Cargo Terminal Co. Ltd).
