YunExpress to Open New Facility at East Midlands Airport, Becoming UK's First China-Based Cargo Handler

Chinese logistics giant YunExpress is set to open a new cargo handling facility at the UK's East Midlands Airport (EMA). This development marks a significant milestone, establishing YunExpress as the first China-based e-commerce logistics firm to create its own air cargo handling operation in the United Kingdom. The new hub is part of a broader £140 million investment programme by the airport's owner to enhance its cargo infrastructure. Located in a refurbished transit shed, the facility is expected to become operational later this year. The partnership will strengthen EMA's position as a key hub for e-commerce and improve logistics connections between the UK and Asia.
