## Description

Central China's aviation landscape is a two-airport story: Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (WUH) handles passengers and belly cargo, while SF Express runs its dedicated freighter operation at Ezhou Huahu (EHU), about an hour's drive away. WUH itself offers up to 440,000 tonnes of annual cargo capacity, with a third runway under construction; pre-pandemic throughput reached roughly 243,000 tonnes. Etihad Cargo is among the carriers that have added Wuhan to their freighter networks. Local industry feeds steady demand: Dongfeng's automotive plants, the Optics Valley cluster for fibre optics and semiconductors, and a growing biotech sector. Passenger services cover more than 100 destinations including around 18 international ones, providing wide belly capacity. Wuhan also operates the largest inland river port on the Yangtze and sits at the crossing of China's north-south and east-west high-speed rail trunk lines, giving forwarders true multimodal options.
