## Description

Where camel caravans once set off along the Silk Road, Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (XIY) now anchors China's westbound trade lanes. The airport ranks first among China's inland airports and fifth nationally for international express volume, with 43 all-cargo routes reaching 43 countries. Cargo terminals exceed 100,000 square metres and annual handling capacity tops 450,000 tonnes; in 2025 XIY was the country's 16th-busiest cargo airport. More than 30 international cargo carriers operate here, including FedEx and Lufthansa. Semiconductors and electronics shape the freight mix – Samsung runs a major memory-chip fab in Xi'an – alongside cross-border e-commerce and cold-chain products. Dedicated east and west cargo aprons accommodate widebody freighters. The city also fields an international dry port and one of China's busiest China-Europe rail schedules, enabling air-rail combinations along the Belt and Road corridors.
