Air Japan began an express delivery service for Tianjin on recently, contributing to the port city's efforts to give better service to locally-based foreign businesses.
Statistics show that 290,000 express delivery items had been handled by the end of 2001 after an air express delivery monitoring center was established by Tianjin Municipality Customs in September 2000.
Air Japan is the third foreign airline providing express delivery services in the city.
Local customs has taken measures to speed up customs clearance and to attract well-known multinationals such as Motorola and Samsung.
An Air Japan manager says that businesses from Europe, the United States and Japan are eyeing the Chinese market and their demand for express delivery is expected to increase as China attracts more global attention because of its dramatic economic development.
