　　The route is undertaken by a B747 all-cargo plane, with 3 round trips scheduled per week. The outbound trips mainly transport cross-border e-commerce cargo, while the inbound trips fresh products in the future. Each round trip could transport over 150 tons of cargo. With the route opening, the number of flights from Zhengzhou to Mexico City has been increased from three to six per week, which improves the timeliness of cross-border e-commerce cargo from Zhengzhou to the American region, enriches the categories of fresh products imported via Zhengzhou airport, strengthens the economic trade exchanges and connectivity between Zhengzhou and the American region, and expands the influence of Zhengzhou as an international air cargo hub.

　　Since January, Zhengzhou airport has spared no efforts to expand its international air cargo network. So far, flights from Zhengzhou to Liege and to Chicago have been increased. Next, Zhengzhou airport will continue to increase the cargo flights to the cross-border e-commerce hubs in Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia and so on, playing its role for Henan to build an inland opening-up highland.
