Some international flights and cargo planes have been cancelled, and air transport will usher in a new round of price increases. It is difficult to obtain first class of popular cross-border cargo routes, and cross-border timeliness will also be affected.
European air transport prices continue to rise
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the global aviation market hard. However, since last year, the aviation logistics market has been unprecedentedly hot, and even the phenomenon of "one cabin is hard to find" has emerged. The popular cross-border cargo routes of several large domestic airlines are also basically fully loaded.
Due to the impact of the recent epidemic, some domestic flights to foreign countries have been closed, and some flights have been suspended in Nanchang, Changsha, Xiamen and other regions. The number of flights is tight and the price rises. Air freight prices in Europe will continue to rise rapidly, and the timeliness of transportation may be affected.
Current situation of European Railway and shipping
Recently, the Polish railway traffic control center plans to close the track leading to the kobylany terespol border of Belarus and close the track of 1520m active trains for track replacement and mechanical compaction of the whole track. It will be closed for several hours every day. During this period, it is expected that the waiting time will be long in the handover of trains to and from Poland, and the number of trains that can pass will be reduced by 40%, which will affect the reasons such as late arrival of the railway and slow delivery of cabinets!
There are many reasons for railway delay. Transportation demand remains high. Port congestion, the impact of bad weather, and the shortage of container boards and manpower constitute multiple factors of delay. There are indeed delays in railway transportation.
But by sea, can the goods arrive at the destination on schedule? According to the current situation, the answer is definitely that we can't reach the destination as scheduled. It is still possible that they will not be able to board the ship in two or three weeks. For example, the delay of large ships in berthing depends on the port. Compared with sea transportation, China Europe railway is still competitive. However, it is undeniable that due to the delay, the delay is also continuous.
The situation of Europe's card Airlines is not optimistic
The situation of Europe's card Airlines is also not optimistic. Alashankou, baktu and Horgos may face congestion, slow exit or unable exit. At present, there have been congestion incidents at Alashankou port, and hundreds of vehicles are blocked at the mountain pass! The exit ports of buktu and Horgos are small, and the number of departures is limited. There will still be some delay in the time limit of card flights in the later period.
How to replenish at this stage?
Be prepared to stock in advance. Don't wait until the stock is insufficient or there is no stock. During this period, the logistics will be continuously affected. Problems such as untimely delivery and warehouse arrangement will occur. At this time, the logistics speed will be slower.
The preparation period is affected by such factors as product sales volume, purchase time and transportation logistics timeliness. Know your actual inventory, and set an approximate number of days to start stocking according to the past sales volume and daily average sales volume of products. If your products are popular, you must ensure that there are enough inventory sales in the FBA warehouse, such as one month or half month inventory sales. At the same time, the transportation time, procurement time, and the time of warehousing and shelving of products shall also be considered. Comprehensive consideration: inventory sales volume, logistics transportation time, purchase time, warehousing and shelf time. We must calculate and optimize according to our actual situation. Every time we prepare goods, replenish goods and deliver goods, we can make statistics and record them as a reference to save our time.
