China's central region is set to experience a significant boost as the General Administration of Customs (GAC) unveiled 16 key measures on Sunday aimed at energizing the area. 🌟
One of the standout developments is the Ezhou Huahu Airport in Hubei Province, the country's first cargo-focused airport, which surpassed 100,000 tonnes in international throughput last June. 📦✈️
Since starting international operations in April 2023, Ezhou Huahu Airport now operates 18 international routes alongside 50 domestic ones. The airport boasts a sprawling 750,000-square-meter cargo transfer center with an impressive 52 kilometers of parcel sorting lines, ensuring efficient handling of goods. 🏗️
In June of last year, a new international air cargo route was launched between Ezhou Huahu Airport and Budapest, the capital of Hungary. This direct route primarily serves parcel express and e-commerce goods, expanding air logistics channels between China and Europe and fostering stronger economic exchanges between the two regions. 🌍💼
The 16 measures introduced by the GAC include optimizing railway fast clearance, supporting cross-border e-commerce, and establishing demonstration areas for relocating processing trade industries. These initiatives are designed to streamline operations, enhance trade efficiency, and attract more businesses to the central region. 🚆🛒
With these strategic enhancements, China's central region is poised for robust growth, offering new opportunities for professionals, entrepreneurs, and businesses looking to tap into the expanding markets. 🌱📈
