Jayud secures annual air cargo capacity on Zhengzhou-Chicago route, expanding cross-border logistics capabilities

Jayud Global Logistics Limited ("Jayud" or the "Company"), a leading end-to-end supply chain solution provider based in Shenzhen, specializing in cross-border logistics, today announced that it has entered into a Block Space Agreement ("BSA") to secure dedicated air cargo capacity on the Zhengzhou-Chicago freight route, effective January 17, 2026.

Under the one-year agreement, Jayud will lease allocated cargo space on B747-400F freighter flights operating three times weekly between Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (CGO) and Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD). The arrangement provides the Company with guaranteed weekly cargo capacity of approximately 16,800 kilograms, enabling consistent and reliable air freight service between China and the United States.

The BSA structure allows Jayud to offer air cargo services to its customers with reduced operational risk compared to operating its own aircraft, while maintaining competitive pricing and service reliability. The agreement supports the transport of cross-border e-Commerce merchandise declared under the 9610 customs code within Henan province and Jayud’s selfoperated Cross-Border E-Commerce Hub at Ezhou Huahu Airport Economic Zone, in Hubei province; as well as electronic devices containing lithium battery that comply with international aviation safety regulations.

The Company estimates the BSA alone will generate approximately 68 million RMB (US$9.8 million) in revenue and approximately 3.8 million RMB (US$0.55 million) in profit.

Xiaogang Geng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jayud, commented, "This Block Space Agreement represents an important expansion of our cross-border logistics capabilities, providing our customers with direct air freight access between Central China and the U.S. Midwest. By securing dedicated capacity rather than operating our own aircraft, we can offer competitive air cargo services while managing capital requirements and operational complexity. This complements our existing ocean freight and warehousing operations, further strengthening our position as a comprehensive supply chain solution provider."

The Zhengzhou-Chicago route connects two major logistics hubs.

Zhengzhou serves as the base for the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world– Foxxcom, while Chicago O'Hare is one of North America's largest cargo airports with extensive ground transportation connections throughout the United States.
