A new cargo terminal at Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport has started accepting shipments as it gears for a full opening.
 

Dimerco Express said that it worked with Cathay Pacific to arrange its first flight for the new Zhengzhou North Cargo Terminal at the Henan Province airport.

 
The 160,000 square meter addition to the Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport adds 600,000 tons of freight capacity, bringing the airport’s total air cargo capacity to 1.1 million tons.
 
"The Zhengzhou Terminal has been growing in importance as China's Central Plains area continues to open up to more manufacturing and trade activity," the freight forwarder said.
 

The new terminal offers automated scanning, weighing and cargo transport within the terminal.

 

it also consists of a large cold chain area, a new customs inspection area, and 101 shipping docks to make it fast and easy for trucks to move to and from the facility.

 
"Development of the Airport is a strategic priority for the Chinese government, which will invest 4.88 billion Chinese Yuan Renminbi (US$712 million) over the next decade to expand passenger and cargo capacity," Dimerco said.
 
By 2035, the Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport will have 5 runways and three cargo zones and will have the capacity to serve 100 million passengers and 5 million tons of cargo annually.
