Manila, a New Friend of Henan's 'Aerial Silk Road'

“空中丝绸之路”朋友圈再添东盟好友

At 11 am on June 15, a B737-800F cargo-loaded plane took off from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (Zhengzhou Airport) to Manila, capital of the Philippines, not only marking a new air freight route linking Henan with the ASEAN, but also a new practice for Henan to further integrate its "Aerial Silk Road" into the country's new "dual circulation" development pattern (in which the domestic market is the mainstay and the domestic and foreign markets complement each other).

6月15日上午11时，一架B737-800F货机满载货物从郑州机场直飞菲律宾首都马尼拉。郑州—马尼拉航线的开通不仅标志着我省又打开了一条连接东盟的航空货运通道，也为“空中丝绸之路”融入国内国际双循环格局提供了新的切入点。
