The holding company, with a strong presence in the Asian country, is a great connoisseur of the Asian import-export market with Europe. Since the beginning of the sanitary crisis, air logistics is playing a crucial role all over the world.


The Spain-China operation was carried out in record time.

Alonso Group, with the coordination of its logistics operator Operinter, has executed the logistics of one of the sanitary air corridors, currently underway, between Spain and China. In the operation, large aircraft are being used to import medical material, mainly masks, destined for pharmacies or large companies in our country.

The sanitary corridor has planned four flights, throughout this month of April, which will allow a total of 25 million sanitary masks to arrive in Spain. For the moment, this weekend, two flights have already landed at the Madrid-Barajas airport from Guangzhou (China) with a load, in each of them, of four million personal protection masks.

The third of the cargo ships is scheduled to arrive in Madrid on Thursday 23 April and the material will be distributed, in addition to the Spanish capital, in Valencia, A Coruña and Málaga. Finally, on the 26th, the fourth of the planned flights will land.

Great presence and experience in the Chinese market

Alonso Group, through its international firm Alonso Forwarding, has a strong presence in China (Operasia), in particular, has up to seven offices in major cities (Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Ningbo, Qindao, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Xiamen).

The holding company has a important knowledge of the Chinese market and has extensive experience in import-export traffic with the Asian giant. Hence, through its freight forwarders, it has become a key partner for international operations such as sanitary air corridors that require precision, efficiency and coordination.

Air logistics, key in the COVID-19 crisis

Since the outbreak of the global health crisis caused by COVID-19, air transport has become, due to its efficiency and speed, a key element in guaranteeing the supply and provision of medical or pharmaceutical products. In this sense, Alonso Group has been strengthening its structures to adapt to this situation and ensure the proper functioning of the national and international supply chain.

Since mid-March, when the health crisis caused by COVID-19 began, Alonso Group, through its companies, has joined different initiatives to combat the virus and thus mitigate the serious impact it is having worldwide.
