At 5 a.m., international cargo flights arrived. In the morning light, rows of goods "beaten" according to different standards were transported from the cabin to the cargo terminal. Forklifts shuttled quickly, freight security personnel in safety vests trotted along, and airport ground security personnel nervously counted the goods. Outside the cargo terminal, the containers of transport trucks are open, waiting for loading to leave at any time.

This is a busy scene in the international cargo terminal of Zhengzhou airport. In 2018, Zhengzhou Airport completed a cargo and mail throughput of 515000 tons, ranking first in the central region.

Not near the sea, not along the border, a runway blue sky. Since Luxembourg International Cargo Airlines opened the first all-cargo flight from Zhengzhou to Luxembourg in June 2014, Zhengzhou has gradually become an important international air cargo hub on the "Air Silk Road. The busy "Air Silk Road" has become a strategic breakthrough for inland Henan to expand its opening to the outside world.

"Unload the goods from Europe here, load new goods for Japan, fly from Japan to Chicago, and then return to Europe." Wang Yong, manager of Henan Airport Group's international freight business, said, "The full load and unloading of goods have now been optimized to two hours."

Fast, is the intuitive impression of Zhengzhou as an important node of the "Air Silk Road. Zhengzhou Airport currently has six designated ports and cross-border e-commerce businesses, including imported fruits, chilled aquatic products, edible aquatic animals, chilled meat, Australian live cattle, and international mail transfers. In April this year, Zhengzhou Airport fully implemented 7 × 24-hour customs clearance. Australian tuna arriving at Zhengzhou Airport at 6 a.m. is expected to be served at the tables of customers in Beijing and other places at 18 o'clock on the same day after customs clearance, tally, quarantine and distribution.

"At present, many of our fresh food choose to enter the customs from Zhengzhou." Guo Limin, the person in charge of Shanghai Bangda Tianyuan International Freight Co., Ltd., said, "Zhengzhou can realize fast transshipment and connect the whole country. Moreover, there are many flights, rich routes and high customs clearance efficiency."

It is the visual embodiment of Zhengzhou's position as a hub on the "Air Silk Road" route. On the dense cargo route map of Zhengzhou Airport, 34 all-cargo routes reach 28 international cities. As of the end of 2018, 21 cargo airlines (15 foreign airlines) operating in Zheng have opened 34 all-cargo routes (29 international regions) and 40 navigable cities (28 international regions), basically forming a hub route network covering major economies in the world.

Taking cold chain, express delivery and e-commerce logistics as breakthrough points, Zhengzhou Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone has actively introduced and cultivated large freight carriers and logistics integrators based on Zhengzhou Airport. Ambo Airport Storage Service Center and Greenland Global Central Operation Center for Imported Commodities have successively landed. At present, the clothing sent from ZARA fashion distribution center at Zhengzhou port to the whole country has covered more than 500 stores in more than 60 cities.

"We have special sorting equipment at Zhengzhou Airport, and we can send out a whole charter flight in 12 hours." Mou Yimin, head of ZARA freight transportation, said, "every year, our cargo volume is nearly 20000 tons, and the import and export volume is about 2 billion yuan."

Foot, is Zhengzhou for the "air Silk Road" carrying capacity of the vivid embodiment. At present, Zhengzhou Airport has 7 cargo terminals, and its international cargo capacity, the number of all-cargo routes, the number of flights and the number of navigable cities all rank first in the country. The relevant person in charge of Henan Airport Group said that on the basis of stabilizing the existing route capacity, Zhengzhou will also open all-cargo routes from Zhengzhou to Los Angeles in the United States, Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, Tel Aviv in Israel, Halifax in Canada and other places.

The relevant person in charge of the Henan Provincial Development and Reform Commission said that relying on the "Air Silk Road", Henan has accelerated the pace of opening up to the outside world and has embarked on a new path for the development of an open economy in inland areas.
