“空中丝路”再添新通道

卢森堡—郑州—芝加哥—纽约货运航线开通

At 9 am on May 26, an cargo plane (B747-400F) of Cargolux Airlines International took off from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport, marking the first flight of the Luxemburg-Zhengzhou-Chicago-New York air freight route, a new route enjoying the Fifth Freedom Traffic Right opened by Cargolux in Zhengzhou, which extended the coverage of the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg "Air Silk Road" to North America.

5月26日9时许，卢森堡货航B747-400F货机从郑州机场呼啸而起，卢森堡—郑州—芝加哥—纽约航线顺利首飞。这是卢森堡货航在郑州开通的又一条第五航权航线，进一步提升了郑卢“空中丝路”辐射北美航线的灵活度和通达性。

On that plane were loaded auto spare parts, electronics, daily necessities, etc. The air route is operated by Cargolux B747 all-cargo plane, with one flight scheduled on every Sunday. With the launch of this route, the number of flights under Cargolux in Zhengzhou has increased to 18 per week, with 9 intercontinental routes, 8 of which are under the Fifth Freedom Traffic Right.

据悉，当天航班上主要装载着汽车零部件、电子产品、日用品等。该航线由卢森堡货航B747全货机执飞，到郑班期为每周日，每周执行1班。随着该航线的开通，卢森堡货航在郑航班增至每周18班；常态化运营9条洲际货运航线，其中8条为第五航权航线。

On April 13, 2015, the Luxembourg-Zhengzhou-Chicago air cargo route was launched, which brings Europe, Asia and America together, becoming the first route of Cargolux under the Fifth Freedom Traffic Right in Zhengzhou. A better-established Zhengzhou-Luxembourg "Air Silk Road" deepens the cooperation between China and Luxembourg. In August of 2023, the Civil Aviation Administration of China held talks with the Civil Aviation Administration of Luxembourg, reaching a consensus on the expansion of the traffic right between the two countries. On April 3, 2024, Zhongyu Aviation Group held talks with Cargolux in Zhengzhou to promote the launch of new air cargo routes, expand the air economic corridor with Zhengzhou at its core, and extend the coverage of the China-Luxembourg "Air Silk Road".

2015年4月13日，卢森堡货航首启郑州第五航权，开辟卢森堡—郑州—芝加哥航线，将欧、亚、美三洲一线贯通。随着郑卢“空中丝路”建设推进，中卢合作日益加深。2023年8月，中国民用航空局与卢森堡民航局举行会谈，就进一步扩大两国间航权安排达成共识。今年4月3日，中豫航空集团与卢森堡货航在郑州会谈，推动新航线开通，拓展以郑州为中心辐射全球的空中经济廊道，做大做强中卢货运航线“空中丝路”。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/郭北晨 编译/杨佳欣 实习生/邱昌琪 审校/焦丹 赵汉青）
