## Description

Ningbo Lishe International Airport (IATA: NGB, ICAO: ZSNB) handled 160,124 tonnes of cargo in 2025, up around five percent year on year, and serves as the local air freight outlet for the export industry of Zhejiang province. Its facilities are designed for 300,000 tonnes of cargo and mail a year, leaving substantial headroom for growth. Compared with the sea route, the airport's real advantage is proximity: Ningbo-Zhoushan, one of the world's largest seaports by cargo tonnage, lies only a few dozen kilometres away, so sea-air routings need only a short truck leg. Most air shipments travel as belly cargo on passenger services, with more than 40 airlines serving roughly 81 domestic and a dozen international and regional destinations. Dedicated freighter services supplement this, most recently an all-cargo link to Tokyo. Typical traffic reflects the regional industry: household appliances from Cixi, textiles, automotive components and small commodities from the Yiwu area. Customs formalities go through China Customs, with electronic declarations filed via the China International Trade Single Window. For intercontinental main-deck capacity and wider network coverage, forwarders normally use Shanghai Pudong (PVG, about 220 kilometres via the Hangzhou Bay Bridge) or Hangzhou Xiaoshan (HGH, roughly 140 kilometres).
