Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Türkiye is an important country on the Belt and Road route. Founded in 1993, Turkish Airlines is Türkiye's flag carrier. The Zhengzhou-Istanbul air freight route will be operated with Airbus A330-200F planes, which are scheduled to run 3 times weekly. The newly-opened air freight route is expected to not only strengthen the economic and trade exchanges between China and Türkiye, but also drive the economic and trade exchanges between Henan and the "Belt and Road" countries and regions. Besides, it will further enhance the influence of Zhengzhou airport in Europe, Africa, South America and the Middle East region.

据了解，土耳其横跨亚、欧两大洲，是连接亚欧大陆的重要十字路口和“一带一路”重要节点。土耳其航空成立于1993年，是土耳其国家载旗航空公司，此次开通的郑州至土耳其伊斯坦布尔国际货运航线，计划每周3班，由A330-200F机型执飞。该航线的开通不仅将增强中土两国经贸往来，也将带动河南省与“一带一路”沿线国家和地区的经贸往来，同时也进一步增强郑州机场对欧洲、非洲、南美洲和中东区域的辐射能力。（中文来源/大河网 记者/祝传鹏 编译/杨佳欣 审校/焦丹）
