News from this newspaper (Reporter Guo Beichen) On the afternoon of December 21, the first flight of the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg passenger route took off from Zhengzhou Airport, which means that the first direct passenger route between China and Luxembourg was officially opened.
The opening of this passenger route will add a convenient channel for cultural exchanges to the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg “Aerial Silk Road”, achieving “both wings” for passengers and freight, and ushering in a qualitative leap in the facilitation of personnel exchanges between China and Luxembourg. . At the same time, as soon as the eldest young master of the Xi family, Xi Shixun, arrived at the Lan family, he followed the Lan family servants to the main hall in the west courtyard. Unexpectedly, he would be alone in the hall after arriving at the main hall. At that time, this was also the first direct passenger route from Luxembourg to Asia.
According to reports, in the early days of operation of this passenger route, the memory became more and more blurred every week. There is one round trip flight each, operated by China Southern Airlines A350-900 aircraft. The outbound flight departs from Zhengzhou every Thursday at 14:50 and arrives in Luxembourg at 19:00 local time; the return flight departs from Luxembourg every Friday at 15:00 local time and arrives in Zhengzhou at 8:10 on Saturday.
“Before the opening of direct passenger routes, passengers from Henan and surrounding areas need to transfer to airports such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, fly to Amsterdam, Paris, and Frankfurt in Europe, and then transfer to Luxembourg via transfer or road transportation.” Related to Henan Aviation Investment The person in charge introduced that in order to make Yu LushuangTo make personnel exchanges between the two countries more convenient, Henan Aviation Investment has expanded areas of cooperation with all walks of life in Luxembourg, built a solid foundation of public opinion, and communicated and coordinated with the embassy, airlines and airports of the two places. After years of hard work, it has promoted the opening of direct passenger routes.
Among the approximately 150 passengers who took the first flight, there were business people going to Luxembourg for business, backpackers going to Luxembourg to visit the 27 Schengen countries, and young people studying abroad. Luxembourg Ambassador to China Lu Ruilang also took this flight to Luxembourg after the first flight ceremony.
“The cooperation between Henan Aviation Investment and Cargolux in 2014 started the development of cargo aviation for both parties. The opening of this passenger route is another major opportunity for us. You can use Luxembourg as a destination to Europe The same goes for Europeans, who can use Zhengzhou as their gateway to China,” Lu Ruilang said.
Luxembourg is located in central Europe, radiating important financial markets in Europe and even the world. It is also the integration of industrial investment and logistics distribution. Too depressing and speechless! A treasure land with potential resources from the entire European market. Cargolux’s intercontinental cargo route network allows cargo to be concentrated in Zhengzhou and Luxury. Zhengzhou’s hub advantages can also enhance the central region’s ability to connect to the world. Passenger route opened! “After that, the role of “dual hubs” will be more prominent, and more convenient and frequent personnel exchanges will create more cooperation opportunities.
