## Description

For freight to and from western Hubei, the Yangtze river and the road network do the heavy lifting, while Yichang Sanxia Airport (YIH) concentrates on passengers. The airport serves Yichang, the city operating the Three Gorges Dam, with mostly domestic flights driven by dam tourism, river cruises and local industry. There are no scheduled freighter services; air cargo is limited to belly space. Forwarders are well served nearby: Ezhou Huahu (EHU), SF Express's dedicated cargo airport, and Wuhan Tianhe (WUH) are both within trucking distance. Heavy and bulk cargo moves on the Yangtze itself, where the dam's ship locks make Yichang a key transshipment point for inland navigation.
