China News Service, Hubei Ezhou, November 9th (Wu Yili, Wang Xingyu, Xu Yuan) Asia's largest professional cargo airport, Hubei Ezhou Huahu International Airport, welcomed this year's first Chilean cherry charter flight in the early morning of the 9th, marking the official launch of the "Ezhou-Addis Ababa, Ethiopia-São Paulo, Brazil-Santiago, Chile" international cargo route.

This cross-border cargo route is operated by Boeing 777 wide-body freighter aircraft and operates twice a week. The flight takes off from Huahu Airport and transits through Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, the largest air cargo hub in Africa, to reach Brazil, Chile and other South American countries, opening up the air logistics channel in the three continents of Asia, Africa and South America. The route eliminates the need for multi-layer transfer connections, greatly shortens the time for cross-border fresh food circulation, and builds a stable and reliable air corridor for Hubei to connect with African and South American markets.

According to the relevant person in charge of Ezhou Huahu International Airport, this route uses the Asia-Africa air cargo hub linkage model to connect the professional cargo hub of Huahu Airport to the African air cargo hub, linking the hinterland of South America and opening up a cross-continental transit link. The route achieves efficient two-way cargo flow. The outbound journey mainly carries Chinese cross-border e-commerce export goods; the return journey mainly carries South American fresh food such as cherries and salmon. These imported fresh foods can be on the dining tables of Chinese consumers in as fast as 48 hours.

In addition, Ezhou Huahu International Airport has recently opened a new international cargo route "Ezhou - Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - Sao Paulo, Brazil - Buenos Aires, Argentina", which mainly imports salmon, beef, etc. The aircraft type is Boeing 777, with one flight per week.

According to reports, through this new route, Ezhou Huahu International Airport on the one hand helps "domestic products go overseas", on the other hand it continuously introduces high-quality fresh products from South America to China, enriches the supply of the consumer market, and creates an efficient air logistics corridor with a two-way cycle of "e-commerce goes overseas and fresh fruits come home".
