　　Welcome to join the "transportation circle" of Zhengzhou

　　欢迎加入郑州“交通圈”

　　On December 6, a passenger plane from Melbourne, Australia, after over 10-hour flight, landed smoothly on Xinzheng International Airport, marking the first formal non-stop international passenger flight to Australia from Henan Province. Since then, the plane taking off from Zhengzhou will no long take a detour to Melbourne, which also demonstrates the further improvement of international airline network of Zhengzhou Airport. By now, Zhengzhou Airport has 193 passenger routes in service including 26 international airlines. The transportation network of Zhengzhou has continuously expanded. It is said that the tourism chartered flight from Zhengzhou to Chiang Mai, taking only 3 hours and a half, will make its maiden flight on January 6, 2018.

　　12月6日，自澳大利亚墨尔本起飞的一架客机，经过10个多小时的飞行，平稳降落在郑州新郑国际机场，这标志着我省首条直飞澳大利亚的国际客运航线正式开通。今后，从郑州乘飞机到墨尔本再也不用“拐弯抹角”了。这意味着郑州机场国际航线网络进一步完善。目前，郑州机场已开通客运航线193条，其中国际地区航线26条。郑州的交通网络圈还在持续发展壮大，据悉，郑州直飞泰国清迈的旅游包机将于2018年1月6日启航，预计全程3小时30分钟。

　　In recent years, both passenger and cargo air service of Zhengzhou Airport has grown fast. During first 10 months this year, it registered a total cargo throughput of 380,000 tons, with a year-on-year increase of 10% and growth rate of 3.7% higher than the industry-wide average, steadily ranking 7th among domestic airports.

　　最近几年郑州机场客、货运生产一直处于快速发展态势。今年前10个月，郑州机场累计完成货邮吞吐量38万吨，同比增长10%，高于全行业平均增速3.7个百分点，稳居全国机场第7位。

　　It is mentionable that since November 9, China Post has allocated the international total packages exported to Chicago and New York that are previously handled by international mail exchanging offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong etc.,to depart from Xinzheng International Airport. The special mail route from Zhengzhou to Chicago is a new channel opened to boost cross-border e-commerce and "global buying and selling" development of Zhengzhou after Zhengzhou-Luxembourg "Aerial Silk Road" as well as the "land channel" of China(Zhengzhou)-Europe Block Train.

　　值得一提的是，11月9日起，中国邮政将原来北京、上海、江苏、浙江、广州等地国际邮件互换局出口至芝加哥、纽约的国际总包邮件，调运至郑州新郑国际机场出境。此次郑州至芝加哥包机运邮航线的开通，是继郑州至卢森堡“空中丝绸之路”、中欧(郑州)班列“陆上通道”后，为推动跨境电商发展、实现“买全球、卖全球”目标而开通的又一新通道。
