AS Asia's first all-cargo hub, Ezhou Huahu International Airport has launched 38 international freight routes, reports Beijing's Global Times.
Since its launch, in Central China's Hubei Province the airport has connected 42 destinations in 28 countries and regions in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa, including key hubs in Belt and Road Initiative partner countries.
To date, the airport has processed 8,795 inbound and outbound international cargo flights and handled 338,400 tons of import and export cargo.
The airport handles a diverse range of cargo, including general import-export goods, mail, express parcels and cross-border e-commerce shipments, according to a local customs official.
Currently, the airport's major exports consist of electronics like computers and smartphones, as well as daily consumer goods, while major imports are fresh fruits, seafood and vehicle parts, among others, said the official.
Shenzhen's SF Airlines launched a new cargo route linking Ezhou with Bangalore, India, expanding trade and logistics connectivity between the two regions.
The State Council has approved the airport to conduct international operations, making it the fourth aviation port in Hubei to provide international services and the first all-cargo hub airport in China.
China plans to expand international cargo routes linking major aviation hubs in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, alongside strengthening Ezhou's role as a specialised cargo hub.
Airlines are encouraged to increase dedicated cargo capacity, introduce more regular all-cargo flights, and enhance global air freight connectivity, according to the guideline.
