Ningbo Airport Xiangying Development Co., Ltd. (宁波机场翔鹰发展股份有限公司)
Draft cites an airport-group logistics subsidiary providing general air-cargo handling, warehousing, loading/unloading and customs-clearance agency work at NGB per a 2016 public disclosure filing; this specific entity's existence and filing could not be (source unreachable), so downgraded from available to unconfirmed pending re-confirmation. Not dropped, since a second cargo/forwarding subsidiary alongside the airport's cargo-terminal operator is a structurally plausible pattern at Chinese regional airports.
