Xinjiang’s aviation sector is soaring to new heights, with its airports emerging as pivotal hubs for global logistics. Last year, Xinjiang Airport Group smashed records by handling 405,000 tonnes of cargo—a 34.7% jump from 2024—led by Urumqi Tianshan International Airport’s 333,000 tonnes. 🌍📦
International freight stole the spotlight, with cargo flights skyrocketing 174% to 5,915 trips. Full-freighter volume surpassed 120,000 tonnes, up a staggering 219.55%! This growth cements Xinjiang’s role as a key player in cross-border trade, especially with 18 new routes connecting 34 cities across 22 countries. 🛫🌏
Cross-border e-commerce exports hit 80,000 tonnes, making up 66% of international cargo. This surge generated over 7 billion yuan ($1 billion+) in trade, proving Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region isn’t just a logistics hub—it’s a global economic engine. 💼🚚
