The invention relates to the technical field of logistics transportation, in particular to a lightweight container applied to a logistics distribution unmanned aerial vehicle. The lightweight container comprises a container body, wherein an air bag containing at least two accommodating cavities is arranged inside the container body, an inflator pump for inflating the air bag is further arranged onthe container body, the inflator pump is connected to the air bag through an air supply pipeline, and an unmanned aerial vehicle connecting piece used for being connected to the unmanned aerial vehicle is arranged on the upper portion of the container body. According to the lightweight container, the inflatable air bag is arranged in the container body, when the unmanned aerial vehicle lifts thecontainer body, the air pump inflates the air bag, express items in the accommodating cavities can be fully wrapped, positioning and protection of the express items are achieved, if the container bodyaccidentally falls off, buffering can be conducted, damage to the express items is prevented, in addition, a container door is tightly closed through am inflated door pressing part, and when the container body falls down for express item taking, a push rod touches the ground, an air release valve releases air, an air pump is closed, the door can be opened, and an express item taking person can take the express items conveniently.
