In today's increasingly networked global logistics landscape, demand for air freight services between Shenzhen and Bangkok has grown substantially alongside the rapid expansion of international trade. However, selecting the right air freight service involves more than just transportation costs—it directly impacts shipping efficiency and overall logistics performance.
Current Pricing Structure
The following table outlines current air freight rates from Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SZX) to Bangkok's Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), quoted in Chinese Yuan (CNY):
| Weight Category | Rate (CNY/kg) | Transfer Fee (CNY/kg) |
|---|---|---|
| 45kg | - | - |
| 100kg | 32.0 | 0.5 |
| 300kg | 11.0 | 0.5 |
| 500kg | 9.5 | 0.5 |

Note: Prices are subject to significant fluctuations during peak seasons. These rates are provided by SF Airlines (O3) and are valid until July 16, 2025. Customers should confirm current pricing with customer service before booking.
Flight Schedule and Logistics
SF Airlines offers direct flights between the two cities under flight number O37351, departing Shenzhen at 1100 local time and arriving in Bangkok (BKK) at 1335. The service operates four times weekly using B757F cargo aircraft. The quoted rates include truck transfer from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) to Don Mueang Airport (DMK).
Additional Fees and Considerations
The base rate includes fuel surcharges, war risk insurance, and ground handling fees. However, several additional costs may apply:
- Customs clearance fees
- Bill of lading charges
- Gate entry fees
- Customs declaration processing (CC fee)
- ICC information processing fees
Shipping information modifications incur a CCA fee of CNY 350 per bill of lading. Special regulations apply to lithium battery shipments—only PI966 and PI967 II battery types are currently accepted for transport.
Cost Management Strategies
While Shenzhen-Bangkok air freight rates remain competitive, ancillary fees can significantly impact total shipping costs. Customers are advised to:
- Carefully calculate all potential charges before booking
- Schedule shipments outside peak periods when possible
- Evaluate service providers based on price, reliability, and customs clearance efficiency
Proper planning and carrier selection can help ensure both cost-effective and timely delivery of goods to their destination.
