On June 23, China Post officially launched its Zhengzhou-Luxembourg international postal cargo route. This is the company's second intercontinental air route after the Nanjing-Luxembourg service, and its first such route in Henan.
The newly launched Zhengzhou-Luxembourg postal route brings Henan closer to the world, reuniting old friends and embracing new ones.
Zhengzhou and Luxembourg have shared a long-standing partnership. In June 2014, the inaugural landing of Cargolux's "Zhengzhou" freighter at Zhengzhou airport marked the launch of the Air Silk Road, a pivotal route that has since transformed Henan's landscape of international connectivity.
The launch of this postal air route is expected to become a new driving force, further strengthening air connectivity between Zhengzhou and Europe. It will help transform the Air Silk Road from a point-to-point route into a more extensive and interconnected network. According to Hao Aimin, Dean of the School of Economics at Zhengzhou University of Aeronautics, the new route will expand the international flight network of Zhengzhou airport, extending its coverage to more countries and cities. This will support Henan in building a hub network that connects major global economies, and provide stronger logistics support for its role as a key air node linking Europe and Asia under the Belt and Road Initiative.
