Zhengzhou airport hits record annual cargo volume of 707,000 tons this year

今年已完成货运量70.7万吨 郑州机场突破年货运量峰值

On November 19, the Zhengzhou International Air Cargo Hub achieved another significant milestone. With 79 cargo flights completed on that day, the airport reached a historic breakthrough: transporting a total of 707,000 tons of cargo this year. This marks a 35.3% increase compared to the previous year and surpasses the annual cargo volume record of 705,000 tons set in 2021.

11月19日，郑州国际航空货运枢纽建设再传喜讯：伴随着当天79架次货运航班保障任务的完成，郑州机场迎来了历史性时刻——截至当天，郑州机场今年累计完成货运量70.7万吨，同比增长35.3%，突破了2021年创下的年货运量峰值70.5万吨。

The fourth quarter, a traditional peak season for air cargo transportation, has seen Zhengzhou airport's cargo business maintain strong growth momentum, with several business indicators continuously breaking records. In September, the airport handled 76,000 tons of cargo, marking the highest monthly volume at that time. This record lasted only a month, as the cargo volume in October surpassed 80,000 tons, setting a new record. As of November, the airport has already processed 51,000 tons of cargo and is on track to achieve a new monthly record. On November 6, Zhengzhou airport supported 90 freighter flights in a single day, setting a new historical record for the highest number of flights in its 27-year history.

四季度是航空货运的传统旺季，郑州机场货运业务冲劲十足，多项业务指标不断刷新纪录。郑州机场9月份完成货运量7.6万吨，创下当时历史单月最高水平；这一纪录仅保持了一个月，10月份单月货运量突破8万吨，又创新高；11月截至目前已经达5.1万吨，有望实现单月货运量新突破。11月6日，郑州机场当日保障全货机航班90架次，创通航27年以来历史最高纪录。

The accelerated growth in cargo volume is fueled by an increasingly dense network of air routes. Currently, with Cargolux Airlines International as a representative, seven out of the top 10 global all-cargo airlines have established operations at Zhengzhou airport. The Zhengzhou-Luxembourg "Air Silk Road" construction has boosted Zhengzhou airport's six core advantages: network coverage, customs clearance convenience, facility completeness, operational efficiency, synergistic operating system, and leadership in smart logistics and innovative models. At present, Zhengzhou airport has launched 57 cargo routes, establishing a hub route network that spans across the three major economic zones of Europe, America, and Asia, covering the main economies worldwide.

加速增长的货运量背后，是越来越密集的航线网络。目前，以卢森堡货航为代表，全球排名前10的全货运航空公司有7家已经入驻郑州机场。在郑卢“空中丝绸之路”建设示范带动下，郑州机场的网络覆盖性、通关便利性、设施完备性、操作高效性、集疏运营体系协同性、智慧物流与模式创新领先性六大核心优势不断显现。目前，郑州机场已开通货运航线57条，构建起横跨欧美亚三大经济区、覆盖全球主要经济体的枢纽航线网络。

For several consecutive years, Zhengzhou airport has consistently ranked as the fifth-largest international air cargo hub in China, following only Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, in terms of international air cargo volume. It has essentially established seven major logistics distribution centers for electronic products, cross-border e-commerce, international express delivery, international mail, high-end automotive parts and so on. On November 16, over 1,600 tons of international air cargo departed from Zhengzhou airport, with more than 500 tons of cross-border e-commerce goods exported through the Zhengzhou International Express Center, accounting for 32 percent of the total volume.

据悉，郑州机场国际地区货邮量已连续多年排名全国第五，是国内仅次于北上广深的第五大国际航空货运枢纽，基本形成了电子产品、跨境电商、国际快件、国际邮件、高端汽车零配件等七大物流集散中心。11月16日，从郑州机场出港的国际地区货运量1600余吨，经国际快件中心出口的跨境电商货物500多吨，占比达32%。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/郭北晨 编译/周金淼 实习生/梁甜 审校/李文竞 赵汉青）
