At 7:00 a.m. yesterday, the cold wind raged along the pudong airport runway, and Tao Danqiang, a police officer of the 13th team on duty at the Shanghai Airport Border Inspection Station, and his colleagues were silently waiting here wearing a full set of epidemic prevention equipment. Ten minutes later, with a loud roar, Flight CK210, loaded with cargo on runway 3, slowly landed on the ground and headed for the no. 324 cargo parking lot. Tao Danqiang rushed over and used the latest instruments such as the "single window" aircraft declaration platform and life detector at the bottom of the cabin to complete the non-contact processing of the flight in less than 10 minutes.
As the world's top three and the first international air cargo hub in China, Pudong Airport's cargo route network covers 251 waypoints in 48 countries (regions) around the world, and there are currently 59 overseas airlines and 10 domestic airlines operating international cargo business here. In order to better improve the efficiency of customs clearance of inbound and outbound cargo aircraft, the Shanghai border inspection authorities have vigorously promoted the reform of "decentralization and management services" and made every effort to create a convenient, efficient and safe customs clearance environment.
According to statistics, in 2021, the Shanghai border inspection authorities inspected nearly 78,000 inbound and outbound cargo planes throughout the year, an increase of nearly 8% year-on-year, a record high. With the Spring Festival approaching in the Year of the Tiger, as a traditional peak consumption season and the promotion of "local New Year" and other factors superimposed, the demand for civilian biological resources has increased, and the volume of air freight is expected to increase significantly. Since New Year's Day, the Shanghai border inspection authorities have inspected nearly 3,800 incoming and outgoing cargo planes. Behind the fast-forward and fast-out of international freighters is the persistence and dedication of Tao Danqiang, the Shanghai immigration management police.
It was the cold winter season, the cold wind on the apron, the surface temperature had been as low as -4 ° C, Tao Danqiang, who had been patrolling for nearly two hours, subconsciously stomped his feet, wrapped the protective clothing more tightly, and took advantage of the fact that the next flight had not yet arrived, so he went into the apron patrol car to avoid the cold. "There are flights landing on apron 328." A few minutes later, a new command came from the intercom, and he drove there again.
Boarding inspection, personnel ID comparison, non-contact clearance, strict "one flight and one kill"... A series of actions, for Tao Danqiang, who has been a police officer for more than 30 years, has been familiar with the heart, but the work standard has not been lowered in the slightest.
In the face of the increasingly severe epidemic prevention and control situation, the Shanghai Border Inspection General Station launched the "7-day centralized duty + 7-day centralized observation + 7-day home observation" centralized closed-loop service, and established a "integration within the ring and reinforcement outside the ring" service rotation mechanism to ensure that the police force accurately drops the high-risk duty area of border inspection and entry with the independent combat unit as the unit.
"Although there are fewer passengers, there are no fewer cargo planes, and comrades are stepping up their efforts!" Tao Danqiang returned from his duty on the apron, quickly changed into a coat, and said to everyone. In the afternoon of the same day, Tao Danqiang, who had completed 7 days of front-line duty, entered the centralized observation and preparation point and entered the state of preparation.
In the face of new changes and new characteristics of the epidemic, the Shanghai border inspection authorities insist on seeking police forces from science and technology, constantly upgrading and optimizing the wireless mobile inspection and release vehicles, cargo aircraft (business aircraft) risk level management system and other measures, providing "green channels" for cargo aircraft transporting special materials and undertaking special tasks, etc., effectively improving the accuracy of epidemic prevention and control, port control and flight clearance speed, and fully promoting the construction of Pudong Airport's international cargo aviation hub.
With less than 1/10 of the police force of the national airport and port shore, shouldering 1/3 of the national airport entry and exit personnel and cargo and mail flight inspection tasks, the Shanghai border inspection police have been sticking to it. Guard a gate, protect a city, and defend a country. This year's Spring Festival, Tao Danqiang and his colleagues will, as always, stick to their posts, continue to fight in the front line of epidemic prevention and control at the national gate, and escort customs clearance at the port.
