## Description

Shippers in the southern Yangtze Delta can choose between trucking to Shanghai Pudong or flying directly out of Sunan Shuofang International Airport (IATA: WUX) – and a growing number pick the second option. The joint civil-military 4E airport between Wuxi and Suzhou handled 173,497 tonnes of cargo and mail in 2024, ranking 23rd in China. International volumes reached 22,800 tonnes, nearly half of it cross-border e-commerce, and early 2025 figures ran at 2.3 times the prior year. A scheduled freighter link to Chicago, resumed in 2025, connects the region's semiconductor, IoT and machinery exporters to North America. On-site customs clearance and the nearby Wuxi Comprehensive Bonded Zone simplify export processing. An ongoing expansion is set to lift annual cargo capacity to 500,000 tonnes. The G2 Beijing–Shanghai expressway and the Shanghai–Nanjing high-speed rail line provide ground access, with the Yangtze river port of Jiangyin about 40 km away.
