## Description

Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport (HGH/ZSHC) has become Zhejiang province's dedicated air cargo gateway, anchored by YTO Cargo Airlines, the province's only large all-cargo carrier certified under CCAR-121 and headquartered on site. SF Airlines also bases operations at HGH, while Air China and China Eastern add belly-cargo capacity on passenger routes. The airport handled 792,710 tonnes of cargo in 2025, up 7.9% year-on-year, ranking seventh among Chinese cargo airports. In September 2025, YTO Cargo Airlines partnered with Freightos' WebCargo platform to give freight forwarders real-time pricing and instant booking on China-South Asia routes, initially covering India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The airport connects via Hangzhou's ring expressway to the manufacturing clusters of the Yangtze River Delta and to the nearby Ningbo-Zhoushan seaport, supporting sea-air freight solutions. For larger international volumes, shippers often complement HGH with Shanghai Pudong (PVG), eastern China's largest cargo hub. Specific customs and bonded-warehouse arrangements vary by commodity and should be confirmed with a local handling agent. For freight to and from South Asia, HGH's new digital booking link via YTO gives shippers an increasingly direct route into the Chinese market.
