## Description

377,214 tonnes of cargo passed through Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (XMN/ZSAM) in 2025 — likely among its last full years, because the airport authority plans to close it to civil traffic once the new Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport opens, scheduled for the end of 2026. Xiang'an is designed for roughly 750,000 tonnes of cargo and mail a year, about double Gaoqi's current throughput. Until the switch, Gaoqi remains Fujian province's principal air freight gateway, with much of the volume carried as belly cargo on Xiamen Airlines and international passenger services alongside freighter traffic. Sea-air combinations matter here: Xiamen is one of the world's larger container ports, and forwarders routinely pair ocean legs with air capacity out of the region. Trucking distances are short, with the Haicang and Xiang'an industrial zones close by. Typical commodities are electronics, machinery parts, textiles and perishables. Customs is handled by the General Administration of Customs (GACC), and Xiamen's free trade zone offers bonded warehousing and re-export options. For extra main-deck capacity shippers usually plan via Guangzhou (CAN), Shenzhen (SZX) or Hong Kong (HKG); Fuzhou (FOC) is the nearby regional option.
