'Air Silk Road' Linking Henan with ASEAN Launched
河南—柬埔寨—东盟“空中丝路”正式启动
The ancient Silk Road bridges a further cooperation for the Central Plain with other countries in the new era. On the afternoon of April 5, a passenger plane (K6894) operated by Cambodia Airways was successfully arrived at Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport, Central China's Henan province, not only marking the resumption of the air passenger route linking Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, with Zhengzhou, but also the official launch of the Air Silk Road linking Henan with Cambodia and other ASEAN countries.
4月5日下午，随着柬埔寨国家航空有限公司（以下简称“柬国航”）K6894次航班成功在郑州机场降落，柬埔寨首都金边至郑州国际往返客运航线正式复航，标志着河南—柬埔寨—东盟“空中丝路”正式启动。万里碧空中，豫柬两地再续前缘，千年丝路焕发新彩。
In September 2020, Cambodia Airways launched the first air passenger route from Phnom Penh to Zhengzhou, but suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in November following China's circuit breaker arrangement. In the future, the flight will be made once every two weeks, which will strengthen personnel exchanges and economic and trade cooperation between Henan and the ASEAN countries as well as the RCEP member countries.
2020年9月，柬国航首次开通金边至郑州航线，但因疫情于同年11月被熔断。本次复航将执行金边至郑州往返每两周一班的频次，有效带动和加强河南与东盟乃至RCEP成员国之间人员交流和经贸合作。
Compared with the Air Silk Road from Zhengzhou to Luxembourg, this new route is for the passengers and cargo of Asian countries with Phnom Penh and Zhengzhou as two aviation hubs. In December 2021, Xinggang Investment Group of Zhengzhou acquired 28 percent of stake in Cambodia Airways and became the second largest shareholder next to the Cambodian government, thus commencing a new chapter in building the new Air Silk Road.
与郑州—卢森堡“空中丝绸之路”相比，东盟“空中丝绸之路”定位于建设我省“空中丝绸之路”的亚洲版、客货并举版，由柬国航在金边、郑州设立双枢纽。2021年12月，郑州航空港兴港投资集团有限公司收购柬国航28%的股份，成为第二大股东，两地共建“空中丝路”揭开新篇章。
Cambodia enjoys an outstanding geographical advantage, whose flight duration to other ASEAN countries is usually between 0.5 and 3 hours.
据了解，柬埔寨与东盟各国的飞行时间在0.5小时至3小时之间，有突出地缘优势。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/沈剑奇 编译/赵汉青 审校/焦丹）
