CCTV News: The Third Plenum of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to rely on the advantages of China's super large market and enhance its openness in expanding international cooperation. In 2022, China's first professional cargo hub airport will be built and put into operation in Ezhou, Hubei, accelerating the opening of the "air outlet" for inland areas. Nowadays, Ezhou, Hubei has initially formed a fast logistics circle that can reach the whole country in one day and the world overnight.
Since the beginning of this year, the opening of international cargo routes at the airport has entered a "peak period". In the past three months, the number of international cargo flights here has increased from 66 per week to 143 per week, and multiple international routes have achieved regular scheduled and quantitative operation.
At present, 24 international freight routes are weaving Hubei, a hub of nine provinces, into the international route network connecting Asia, Europe, America, and Africa. The secret behind the phrase 'hurry up when the goods arrive at Huahu' is hidden in the airport at night.
As the first professional cargo airport in Asia, the 750000 square meter transfer center firmly occupies the C position. Cargo planes usually take no more than 10 minutes from landing and taxiing to opening the cabin door. Within 5 minutes after the cabin door is opened, the cargo can be unloaded to the ground. The 52 kilometer long intelligent sorting line plans the optimal path for goods based on the barcode of the package. On this conveyor belt, packages sprint at a speed of 2.7 meters per second, and a single item can be sorted in as fast as five minutes or as slow as half an hour.
