In October 2025, China's civil aviation sector showed strong growth with domestic passenger trips reaching 60.845 million, a 4.4% year-on-year increase, driven by active business travel in the east and rising tourism in western third- and fourth-tier cities. International routes saw a 20.4% increase in passenger trips, totaling 6.99 million, while cargo and mail transport grew 8.1% domestically and 21% internationally. Monthly freight and mail volume surpassed 900,000 tons for the first time.

From January to October 2025, imports and exports through the Western Land-Sea New Corridor hit a record high of 780.79 billion yuan, up 17.3% year-on-year, facilitating rapid overseas shipment of products like automobiles from western regions. The Alashankou port in Xinjiang saw cargo volume reach 24.792 million tons, a 5.2% increase, supported by 124 China-Europe freight train routes connecting 21 countries as part of the Belt and Road Initiative.

China's express delivery industry demonstrated significant vitality, with first ten-month volumes reaching 162.68 billion parcels, up 16.1% year-on-year. Advancements in drone and unmanned vehicle technologies enhanced logistics efficiency, allowing for faster growth and earlier achievement of delivery milestones compared to 2024. Regional growth was particularly strong in Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Xinjiang, with express volume increases exceeding 30% and expanding service models like direct air mail routes and a “front-warehouse + rail freight” system reducing costs and improving timeliness.

The express sector broadened its service scope to meet diverse consumer demands, supporting areas such as trade-ins, livestream sales, and the holiday market. Online physical goods sales through express delivery were estimated at about 23.41 million yuan per minute, reflecting the industry's key role in maintaining market circulation and boosting online consumption.
