## Description

Recent apron and terminal upgrades have lifted annual cargo capacity at Taiyuan Wusu International Airport (TYN) past 120,000 tonnes, making it the main air freight access point for the province of Shanxi. Passenger services link the provincial capital to all major Chinese cities and a handful of East Asian destinations. Freight traffic is dominated by domestic belly cargo and express shipments; a scheduled intercontinental freighter operation is missing, so forwarders typically route overseas consignments from Shanxi through Beijing (PEK), Tianjin (TSN) or Zhengzhou (CGO). With TISCO, the city hosts one of the world's largest stainless-steel producers, and steel products, machinery parts and e-commerce goods shape outbound demand. The G5 and G20 expressways and high-speed rail to Beijing and Xi'an keep trucking pre-carriage short. For central Shanxi, TYN is the natural handover point into China's national air cargo network.
