At 6:05 a.m. on Jan 7, a Boeing 777 freighter took off from Ezhou Huahu International Airport (Hubei, China) and flew nonstop to Athens, Greece — officially opening the Ezhou–Athens international cargo route, Hubei’s first new international freight route of the year.
Why this matters:
-
A new direct logistics bridge between China and Southern Europe
-
Carries fashion and e-commerce goods outbound, and European fresh produce & auto parts inbound
-
Up to 100 tonnes per flight, 2 flights a week, strengthening fast global supply chains
-
Adds Athens to Ezhou’s growing European network, alongside Milan and Paris
With its cargo volume surging and international routes expanding rapidly, Ezhou Huahu International Airport is emerging as a key air freight hub linking China with the world — making “Made in China” and “Delivered from Europe” faster than ever.
Global trade, taking off in real time.
