Midwest China made a new breakthrough in transporting medical supplies to foreign countries. Loaded with 500-thousand doses of COVID-19 vaccines, an all-cargo flight operated by Silk Way West Airlines took off from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou Airport) to Baku, Azerbaijan on the evening of May 15.

Zhengzhou international aviation hub plays an important role as a pivot for Henan to build a new "dual circulation" development pattern in which the domestic market is the mainstay and the domestic and foreign markets complement each other. After years of efforts, it has fostered its distinct competitive advantages in air freight coverage, infrastructure facilities, customs clearance facilitation, service innovation, etc. At present, Zhengzhou Airport's cargo throughput maintains the 6th place in China with 51 air freight routes (41 international ones) linking Henan with 63 cities (46 international ones). Covering major economies in the world, a hub-spokes airline network system with complementary advantages of domestic and foreign markets has basically taken shape, which has promoted the integration and connectivity of domestic and foreign markets.
