BEIJING, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- An airplane
operated by JD Airlines landed at Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport in east
China's Anhui province on Friday, marking the first
flight of a new international air cargo route linking Wuhu City
with Vietnam's capital
Hanoi.
The launch of this international cargo route, which is the first
one of its kind operated at Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport, demonstrates the
city's efforts for a higher level of opening-up and deeper
integration into the global economy.
It is of great significance for Wuhu to accelerate the
construction of a globally accessible international air cargo
network, and to build an internationally competitive air cargo hub,
according to the airport.
On March 18 this year, the airport
got the approval from the National Port Management Office to
temporarily carry out cargo business.
The airport officially commenced operations in April 2021 and has currently opened 41 passenger
routes and 6 all-cargo routes. It is positioned as a medium-sized
civilian airport and a specialized air cargo hub.
In 2023, the airport's passenger throughput reached 1.23
million, an increase of 218 percent, and the cargo and mail
throughput exceeded 20,000 tonnes, up 314 percent on year. In the
first five months of 2024, the cargo and mail throughput amounted
to 11,600 tonnes, up 191 percent on year.
