In June 2026 industry representatives met in Guangzhou for the IATA Cargo Day North Asia conference to discuss digitalisation and cross-border logistics cooperation at the site. Expressways, metro and high-speed rail link the airport to Guangzhou, Foshan and the wider Greater Bay Area. For forwarders, Baiyun remains southern China's principal air freight gateway.
