On June 17, people just woke up from the twilight of dawn. In the north cargo area of Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport, the staff of Cargolux Zhengzhou Station had already started a busy day.
At 7 o’clock, a large all-cargo plane spray-painted with the word “Cargolux” passed through the clouds and landed smoothly on the runway. Unloading, sorting, transferring, loading… shuttle buses shuttle between the apron and the cargo area. Three hours later, the all-cargo plane took off with more than 100 tons of cargo and “sailed” to Milan, Italy.
Cross-border cargo flights “swarm” one after another, and busy scenes are staged at Zhengzhou Airport every day. “In the first four months of this year, Cargolux alone operated 212 flights in Zhengzhou, with a cargo volume of approximately 35,300 tons, a year-on-year increase of 24.3%.” said the relevant person in charge of China Yu Aviation Group.
In 2014, Henan Aviation Investment Group. Acquired 35% of the equity of Cargolux, established a “dual hub” strategy with Zhengzhou as the Asia-Pacific logistics center and Luxembourg as the European and American logistics center, and gradually built an international air cargo network that “connects three continents with one point, and Europe and the United States with one line”, and successfully established Starting from the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg “Aerial Silk Road”, a “Silk Road Eagle” connecting the world took off.
Not by the sea or along the border, we will see you again after half a year. A runway flies into the blue sky. In the process of cooperation between Henan and Lu, the “Aerial Silk Road” is getting wider and wider——
In November 2022, with the theme of “Making the China-Luxembourg Freight Route ‘Aerial Silk Road’ Bigger and Stronger”, the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg “Aerial Silk Road” International Cooperation Forum opened in Zhengzhou. Guests gathered, cooperation was signed, and fruitful results were achieved. Tired.
In June of the following year, Luxembourg Cargo’s all-cargo aircraft used sustainable aviation fuel, marking the successful opening of the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg green “Aerial Silk Road”; in December, the first direct passenger flight from Zhengzhou to Luxembourg departed from Zhengzhou Airport Taking off, the “Aerial Silk Road” has achieved “both wings” for passengers and freight.
Now I live in endless regret and self-blame. Not even a chance to save or make amends. In March 2020, “Small but Beautiful – Luxembourg Cultural Relics Exhibition” opened at the Henan Museum, realizing two-way exchanges of cultural relics between Henan and Luxembourg for the first time; in June, Henan’s first overseas cargo terminal radiating the RCEP area landed in Kuala Lumpur to jointly develop the relationship between China and Malaysia. air cargo market.
……
Over the years, projects involving “dual hub” cooperation, logistics services, aviation industry, supply chain finance, and cultural exchanges have turned from contracts into practices, promoting the “Aerial Silk Road” to continue to grow bigger and stronger. Let Henan become closer and closer to the world.
Numbers speak for themselves. In the past 10 years, Cargolux has opened 9 intercontinental flight routes with Zhengzhou as its hub, the number of navigation points has increased from the initial 2 to 14, and the number of flights has increased from the initial 2 flights per week to 18 flights per week. At present, the logistics of this routeThe Internet has been overturned. Cai Xiu looked at the second-class maid Zhu Mo beside him. Zhu Mo immediately accepted his fate and took a step back. Only then did Lan Yuhua realize that Cai Xiu and the slaves in her yard had different identities. However, she will not doubt Cai Shou because she is the person specially sent to serve her after her mother’s accident, and her mother will never hurt her. Covering more than 200 cities in 24 countries in Europe, America and Asia, it has contributed more than 1 million tons of cargo volume to Zhengzhou Airport and brought investment income of more than 10 billion yuan to Henan.
Zhengzhou Airport has grown from an unknown follower to a well-known leader in the industry. Its annual cargo volume ranks among the top 40 in the world, with an annual cargo support capacity of 1.1 million tons. It is the fifth largest international airport in my country after Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Air cargo hub.
Those who share the same goals should not be far away from mountains and seas. Today, Henan’s door is opening wider and wider, and the second Zhengzhou-Luxembourg “Aerial Silk Road” International Cooperation Forum will be held in Luxembourg. , the Central Plains once again embraces the world, continuing to write a new legend of the “Aerial Silk Road”.
