## Description

An expansion programme once targeted 16,000 tonnes of cargo and mail a year; what Changde Taohuayuan Airport (CGD, ZGCD) actually recorded in 2025 was 0.0 tonnes, alongside 782,822 passengers. The regional field in northern Hunan runs passenger services only, including routes to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with no freighter operations, no working cargo terminal and no customs post for goods. Belly cargo is negligible as well, which is why forwarders have long routed the region's traffic elsewhere. Exports from the Changde area — Furongwang cigarettes, machinery and agricultural produce — leave Hunan by motorway. They are tendered at Changsha Huanghua (CSX), about two hours to the southeast, where international freighter capacity and customs clearance are available. Wuhan Tianhe (WUH) is the second fallback for consignments moving toward the Yangtze corridor and the coast.
