Asia's first cargo-only airport in central China's Ezhou City, Hubei Province has expanded its operating international airfreight routes to 30 since inauguration in 2022, covering 21 countries and regions around the world, according to the Hubei Customs.
The 30 routes operated by Ezhou Huahu International Airport also reach 34 flight destinations across Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa, including Belt and Road partner countries.
Put into operation on July 17, 2022, the airport owns the largest transshipment center in Asia with 77 pieces of package handled per second on average. The hub also has an intelligent inspection line, saving 50 percent of the time for goods clearance.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) announced major RISC-V achievements at a sub-forum during the 2026 Zhongguancun Forum (ZGC Forum) on Thursday, highlighting a new path for open-source chip industrial application.
RISC-V is an open-source, flexible and efficient processor architecture that has gained global attention.
Two landmark achievements were introduced at the forum. Xiangshan, an open-source high-performance RISC-V processor system, has set a new international record and includes the world's first open-source network-on-chip IP.
"The Xiangshan processor core now ranks among the global top tier in performance. Several companies are already developing actual chips based on it. Real market demand, high-level expertise, and high quality are the core elements for open-source chip projects to transition from the lab to industrial deployment," said Bao Yungang, a researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology, CAS.
While Ruyi, a native RISC-V operating system, became the first to support the RVA23 high-performance international standard.
Together, Xiangshan and Ruyi have formed two RISC-V open-source communities led by China.
Currently scientific research teams in China have constructed a full-chain RISC-V development system, strengthening China’s voice in shaping global open-source technology standards.
The 2026 ZGC Forum, running in Beijing through Sunday, is focused on the theme of "Full Integration Between Technological and Industrial Innovation". Since its founding in 2007, this forum has become a major international event for advancing science and technology innovation.
