‘Serious backlog’ expected in Pudong

While the port in Ningbo has returned to regular operations, cargo handling at Shanghai’s Pudong Airport is now facing a „serious backlog“ due to new Covid infections among local staff. Several flights have already been canceled and customs clearance delayed since late last week. According to a spokeswoman for cargo company SEKO Logistics, the speed of handling exports has slowed significantly, and international airlines have begun diverting cargo planes to the south and west of the People’s Republic.
