## Description

Design targets versus reality tell the whole story at Anqing Tianzhushan Airport (AQG/ZSAQ) in Anhui, China: its first phase was sized for 800,000 passengers and 3,800 tonnes of cargo and mail a year, while 2025 actually produced 330,601 passengers, 435.3 tonnes and 3,248 aircraft movements. The field is a joint civil-military facility sharing the site with Anqing North air base, and its civil operation is built around domestic trunk routes rather than freight. Cargo effectively moves as belly capacity on passenger flights; no dedicated freighter service, cargo terminal or on-airport international customs clearance is confirmed here. Exporters around Anqing therefore consolidate at Hefei Xinqiao International (HFE, roughly 150 km north) or Nanjing Lukou International (NKG, roughly 200 km east), and use Shanghai Pudong (PVG) for intercontinental lift. For express and e-commerce volumes, Ezhou Huahu International (EHU) some 250 km upriver is worth knowing: it is China's first purpose-built cargo airport and the hub of SF Airlines. Anqing is also a Yangtze river port, so heavy, non-urgent goods often travel downriver toward Shanghai instead of flying at all.
