China Post launches its first intercontinental air route in Henan

中国邮政在河南域内开通首条洲际航线

On June 23, China Post officially launched its Zhengzhou-Luxembourg international postal cargo route. This is the company's second intercontinental air route after the Nanjing-Luxembourg service, and its first such route in Henan.

6月23日，中国邮政郑州—卢森堡国际邮货运航线正式开通，这是中国邮政继南京—卢森堡航线后开通的第二条洲际航线，也是中国邮政在河南域内开通的首条洲际航线。

The newly launched Zhengzhou-Luxembourg postal route brings Henan closer to the world, reuniting old friends and embracing new ones.

中国邮政郑州—卢森堡国际邮货运航线开通，对河南而言是一次老朋友与新面孔的相聚。

Zhengzhou and Luxembourg have shared a long-standing partnership. In June 2014, the inaugural landing of Cargolux's "Zhengzhou" freighter at Zhengzhou airport marked the launch of the Air Silk Road, a pivotal route that has since transformed Henan's landscape of international connectivity.

郑州与卢森堡可以说是相识多年的“挚友”。早在2014年6月，随着卢森堡货航“郑州号”首次降落郑州机场，一条改写河南对外开放格局的“空中丝路”正式启航。

The launch of this postal air route is expected to become a new driving force, further strengthening air connectivity between Zhengzhou and Europe. It will help transform the Air Silk Road from a point-to-point route into a more extensive and interconnected network. According to Hao Aimin, Dean of the School of Economics at Zhengzhou University of Aeronautics, the new route will expand the international flight network of Zhengzhou airport, extending its coverage to more countries and cities. This will support Henan in building a hub network that connects major global economies, and provide stronger logistics support for its role as a key air node linking Europe and Asia under the Belt and Road Initiative.

此次邮航线路开通，作为一股新动力，将进一步加密郑州与欧洲的空中通道，推动“空中丝路”从“串点连线”向“组网成面”转变。郑州航空工业管理学院经济学院院长郝爱民认为，新航线开通后，将进一步加密郑州机场国际航线，覆盖的国家和城市范围扩大，为助力河南构建“覆盖全球主要经济体”枢纽航线网络，“一带一路”共建中连接欧亚的关键空中节点，提供更多物流保障。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/胡舒彤 编译/张雅涵 审校/张军平 赵汉青）
