Tianjin Airlines adds transit hub to improve service to passengers
Tianjin Airlines officially opened a transit service counter at Tianjin Airport as part of its drive to improve service for passengers. The establishment of the transit hub aims to improve service quality and facilitate passengers' travel. It is also a way by which Tianjin Airlines works to strengthen the transit service guarantee capabilities of Tianjin Airport. Under the new transit arrangements, those departing from 77 airports across the country and transiting through Tianjin on the same day can handle through check-in and baggage check-in at the airport they depart from. How does it work? If passengers have completed through check-in and baggage check-in procedures at the departure station, they can go to the Tianjin Airlines transfer counter to complete the transfer procedures after the previous flight arrives in Tianjin. They can go directly to the boarding gate of the next flight to wait for boarding without the need for a second security check. However, if passengers have not completed the check-in process at the departure station and have no checked baggage, the Tianjin Airlines transfer counter can also handle check-in procedures for the next flight during the opening period. Transfer passengers who have not completed through check-in at the departure station and have checked baggage need to follow the normal process and go to the departure hall on the third floor of the terminal to complete the procedures for the subsequent flight after collecting their luggage.
Tianjin Air Cargo Security’s summer gets off to a good start
China’s Tianjin Air Cargo Security Inspection Station started the summer by setting new records and rethinking operations for the season. The Tianjin inspection station noted the inspection of around 300 tonnes of cargo and mail, a 480 percent increase from last year, at the beginning of this month. The station even set a new daily inspection record last 8 July when it successfully handled the inspection of at least 54 tonnes of cargo. Rethinking the work plan Based on recent data, the volume of air cargo flying into and within China increased substantially from last year’s figures. Likewise, special measures need to be taken to address the transport of food products in warmer weather. Tianjin Air Cargo Security made several adjustments to address both matters. To improve the efficiency of security inspection during the summer transportation period and reduce the detention time of goods, Tianjin Air Cargo Security formulated a special work plan to ensure the timely inspection and orderly loading and transport of both mail and cargo. The inspection station also established an information linkage mechanism with the cargo terminal. Tianjin Air Cargo Security also optimised staffing and strengthened the sharing of information within its organisation to ensure overall efficiency during the peak season.

The Chengde Provincial Cultural Heritage Administration, the Chengde Summer Resort Museum, and the Palace Museum officially opened the 10th Anniversary Exhibition Season for Coordinated Development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region in the Pine Crane Temple scenic area of the Chengde Summer Resort. Ongoing till 8 October 2024, the exhibition features numerous cultural relics which have been restored to the Chengde Summer Resort, including three pairs of uniquely crafted clocks that were separated for several centuries. These artefacts immerse visitors into a deep and emotional dialogue across time and space. An elegant venue The Chengde Summer Resort is characterised by its simplicity and elegance, as well as the way it embraces the essence of natural landscapes. It is also the largest existing imperial garden in the world. Keeping this in mind, the Summer Resort and the Palace Museum are regarded as the epitome of the intersection and resonance of historical and cultural heritages. Particularly during the Qianlong era, Emperor Hongli and the entire imperial court spent almost more than five months every year at the Summer Resort, leading to the conduction of imperial affairs, guest receptions, ethnic and diplomatic matters, among others, mostly taking place there. Consequently, a vast collection of treasures from the Palace Museum also made their way to Chengde.
