Amazon to introduce air cargo service to Chinese sellers
Amazon is soon to offer sellers in China the ability to fly their goods internationally as air cargo, according to the Amazon Logistics website. The move is the latest in an expansion that will see the e-commerce giant move into the world of freight forwarding and third-party logistics. Some long-standing freight forwarders still conduct business via phone or email. However, Amazon's entry into the market could prove to be “a huge wake-up call to an industry that’s been very slow to adopt technology”, according to Ryan Petersen, chief executive of Flexport, a San Francisco-based freight-forwarder start-up.
Amazon.com Inc. has developed a business to handle shipments for its sellers by land and by sea—and soon by air.

The Seattle-based retail giant is planning to offer its sellers in China the ability to fly their goods internationally as air cargo, according to an Amazon Logistics site.
