Hey folks! 🚀 Did you catch the latest air cargo stats from Xinjiang? Last year, the Xinjiang Airport Group smashed records, hauling 405,000 tonnes of cargo in 2025 – that’s up 34.7% from 2024. Leading the pack was Urumqi Tianshan International Airport, which alone handled 333,000 tonnes (+41.2%).
What’s the secret sauce? International freight! 🛫 With nearly 6,000 cargo flights (a 174% jump) and full-freighter volume soaring over 120,000 tonnes (+219.6%), Urumqi has become a true skies powerhouse.
And thanks to its 2025 nod as a national logistics hub, Urumqi rolled out 18 new international routes, linking to 34 cities across 22 countries. 🌏 From Seoul to Singapore, and beyond, goods are zipping across borders faster than ever.
Cross-border e-commerce is another game-changer: exports hit 80,000 tonnes (66% of international volume), racking up 7 billion yuan (over US$1B) in trade. 💸 That’s proof Xinjiang’s not just local—it’s a key global player.
Bottom line? The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is cementing its spot on the world’s air cargo map, driving China’s civil aviation growth and opening up fresh opportunities for businesses and consumers alike. 📦✈️
