## Description

Around 210,000 tonnes of cargo in 2024 and a 150%-plus surge in imported perishables during 2025 capture the momentum at Changsha Huanghua International Airport (CSX) in Hunan province. A new international freight terminal — Terminal 3 — is due to open by October 2026, lifting annual cargo capacity to roughly 110,000 tonnes and expandable to 140,000. The airport is cargo-capable across a broad mix of cross-border e-commerce, high-value industrial goods and chilled or fresh produce, served by 24 international routes spanning five continents. Since April 2024 a fifth-freedom freighter route has linked Addis Ababa, Liège and Changsha, flown by Ethiopian Cargo, alongside scheduled services to Moscow, New York and Los Angeles and a weekly e-commerce rotation to Bangkok. Domestic integrators such as SF Airlines handle the fast-growing online-retail flows. Changsha is home to global construction-machinery makers Sany and Zoomlion, whose high-value parts move air-side, while expressways and high-speed rail tie CSX into central China's industrial core. Dedicated freighters make up about 5% of movements and are rising.
