Through the We Qare program, the airline is donating 1 million kilos of freight space on its airplanes to selected customers around the world to give to the charities of their choice.
JAS Worldwide took advantage of this fantastic program on behalf of the World Food Program and moved almost 50 tons of Personal Protective Equipment and supplies from Shanghai, China to Dhaka, Bangladesh at the end of July, free of charge.
“This was a great opportunity for JAS to support the World Food Program” says Salvatore Lauro the head of JAS Aid & Relief division.

Once again, Parker Hannifin has recognized JAS with its International Freight Forwarder of the Year award for 2025. Parker Hannifin, a Fortune 250 global leader in motion and control technologies, serves a wide range of industries including aerospace, climate control, filtration, and automation. The company highlighted JAS’s cybersecurity and sustainability efforts, on-time delivery, and commitment to continuous improvement as key reasons for selecting JAS as this year’s recipient.

Every year, Golden Week marks one of China’s most significant national holidays. In 2025, the holiday will run from October 1–8, and during this time, most factories, government offices, and many businesses will close or operate at reduced capacity.

Golden Week celebrates China’s National Day and typically involves an extended public holiday for workers across the region. For the logistics industry, it means a temporary slowdown in manufacturing and transportation as employees take time off.
How Does Golden Week Impact Supply Chains?
The impact of Golden Week goes beyond the week itself. Here’s what companies can expect:
