From 2024 onwards, Zhengzhou, a major aviation hub in China, has achieved high-quality development, with both passenger and cargo transportation growing rapidly.

今年以来，郑州航空枢纽高质量发展全面推进，客货运发展均跑出“加速度”。

From January to July, Zhengzhou airport handled 16.435 million passengers, an increase of 11.8 percent year-on-year, of which 15.986 million were domestic passengers, an increase of 9.7 percent, and 450 thousand were international passengers, an increase of 256 percent. The airport also processed 422 thousand tons of cargo and mails, an increase of 31.9 percent, including 176 thousand tons domestically, up 81 percent, and 246 thousand tons internationally, up 10.4 percent.

1-7月，郑州机场完成旅客吞吐量1643.5万人次、同比增长11.8%，其中，国内1598.6万人次、同比增长9.7%，国际地区45.0万人次、同比增长256%。完成货邮吞吐量42.2万吨、同比增长31.9%，其中，国内17.6万吨、同比增长81%，国际地区24.6万吨、同比增长10.4%。

In terms of cargo transport, Zhongyu Aviation Group and Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd signed a MOU for the China-Malaysia Air Cargo Hub Project. This MOU will facilitate the establishment of Henan's first overseas cargo station serving the RCEP region in Kuala Lumpur, marking a key step in the implementation of the dual-hub strategy. Continuing to perfect its aviation network, Zhengzhou airport launched 14 new all-cargo routes in the first half of the year, including Frankfurt, New York, and Atlanta, further increasing the frequency of air cargo routes to North America and Europe.

货运方面，中豫航空集团与马来西亚机场控股公司签署中马航空货运枢纽项目商业支持合作备忘录，推动首个辐射RCEP区域的海外货站落地吉隆坡，郑州—吉隆坡“双枢纽”建设迈出关键一步。持续完善航空网络，上半年新开通法兰克福、纽约、亚特兰大等14条全货机航线，进一步加密北美、欧洲航空快线。

In terms of passenger transport, Zhengzhou airport has actively developed international routes, maintaining stable operations for intercontinental flights to Luxembourg, London, Milan, and other destinations. The airport is also accelerating the development of the "dual hub" routes, including Zhengzhou to Bangkok, Zhengzhou to Cambodia, and Zhengzhou to Singapore. This year, a total of 16 international passenger routes have been launched. The 144-hour visa-free transit policy has been approved, facilitating access to the international tourism market. With the continuous optimization, passenger clearance has been significantly improved.

客运方面，大力开发国际航线，稳定运营郑州至卢森堡、伦敦、米兰等洲际航线，加快郑州—曼谷、郑州—柬埔寨、郑州—新加坡等“双枢纽”建设。今年累计开通国际地区客运航线16条。144小时过境免签政策成功获批，打通了国际旅游市场流量入口，通过不断优化通程航班流程，旅客通关保障水平得到有效提高。

In recent years, the construction of Zhengzhou into an international air logistics hub has made a new breakthrough. Statistics show that Zhengzhou airport's cargo volume has increased sixfold over the past decade, with an annual growth rate of 21 percent. The cargo freight network continues to optimize, with 186 passenger routes and 36 cargo routes operating in Zhengzhou. The network has initially formed a structure that spans across the major economic zones of Europe, America, and Asia, providing multi-point support.
