AIR CONNECTIVITY OFZHENGZHOU AIRPORT
Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (CGO)has an air route network con-necting with all major economies in the world.It is the frst national aviation hubin China,the start point of Zhengzhou-Luxembourg Air Silk Road,and thefourth international mail hub port in China after Beiing,Shanghai and Guang-zhou.CGO now operates 214 passenger air routes and 44 cargo routes(36international routes connecting with 57 cities).CGO is among the top 40 cargoairports in the world,and is one of the greatest cargo airports in China,in termsof international cargo transport capacity,freighter fleet size and number offiights and destinations.
ZAEZ High-Speed Rail Station
ZAEZ HSR Station,designed with 16 platforms and 32lines,and a building area of 500,000 m²,was opened
on Jun.20,2022.It is the first air-rail cargo transportcenter and a primary node of Henan's crisscrossedHSR network.With regard to highway transport,peoplecan reach all major cities of the Central Plains UrbanAgglomeration within 2 hours.Expressways and ringroads connect all major cities of Zhengzhou Metropoli-tan Area.There are five horizontal and five verticalexpressways in the ZAEZ,ensuring efficient passengerand cargo transport.
IMPORTANT FOCUS OFOPENING-UP IN CHINA'S INTERIOR
A“+1+7 port system has been created,which refers to Zhengchou Airport,Zhengzhou Xinzheng Comprehensive BondedZome,and seven functiomal ports.
1、The first "1"refers to Zhengzhou Airport (CGO),a Tier-1 airport,whosecargo and maill throughput increased from 150,000 tons in 2012 to 625,000tons in 2022.It ranks sixth in China in terms of cargo throughput and isamong the top 40 cargo airports in the worild for two consecutive years.
2、The second “1”refers to Zhengzhou Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone.The total import andexport value of the Bonded Zone reached 465.958 billion RMB in 2022,ranking No.2 in China.Itwas given an “A”in the performance assessment of national customs special supervision zones forthree consecutive years,ranking first in Central China.
3、"7"refers to seven functional ports of meat,live cattle,fruits,frozen aquatic products,edible aquaticanimals,mail and pharmaceuticals.By offering 24/7 customs services,pre-declaration and otherpractices,the ZAEZ s port system is so far the most functional and efficient in China's inland area,and its import and export clearance time is far faster than the national average.
