A new air cargo route, linking Ezhou City in Hubei Province with Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh, was launched on May 1.
China's Tianjin Air Cargo is running the air cargo service and plans to operate it three times a week. The new route is expected to provide 60 tonnes of air cargo capacity for the transportation of goods between China and Bangladesh each week.
The Ezhou Huahu Airport was put into operation in July 2022. It has launched 48 domestic cargo routes and 15 international cargo routes. This year, the airport aims to open more than 10 new international cargo routes, with cargo throughput reaching 1.2 million tons. (en.hubei.gov.cn by Zhang Yawei）
