Where the city's cargo terminal is located is similar to where the airport's cargo window is located.
A city cargo terminal serves as both a transit point for cargo distribution and an accelerator for optimizing distribution efficiency. Standardized services reduce cross-regional logistics costs and facilitate the smoother flow of goods across the country.
Internationally, several renowned cargo hub airports have established precedents for establishing cargo terminals. For example, Memphis International Airport in the United States, a global hub for FedEx, operates a global route network centered in Memphis. Through its comprehensive cargo terminal layout, it ensures efficient cargo flow across the United States and even globally.
In China, Pudong International Airport, a major cargo hub, facilitates cross-provincial and municipal logistics collaboration through a comprehensive regional cargo terminal layout. For example, the Suzhou Forward Cargo Terminal, which opened this year, relocated Pudong International Airport's cargo window to Suzhou. Cargo departing from Suzhou can then enter the terminal and be directly delivered to numerous cities domestically and internationally.
The layout of Huahu International Airport's city cargo terminals follows this same principle, as exemplified by the establishment of the Dongguan City Cargo Terminal at Huahu International Airport. The cargo terminal integrates cargo consolidation, customs clearance, and land-air transport. Leveraging the company's comprehensive financial, trade, and logistics advantages and the Huahu Airport supply chain platform, it will significantly enhance Huahu International Airport's reach to the Pearl River Delta region and facilitate cross-border e-commerce exports from Guangdong Province to the world via Ezhou. It is projected that the terminal will contribute 60,000 tons of cargo and mail throughput annually to Huahu International Airport.
