On October 24, the international cargo flight route from Zhengzhou, Henan to Bangkok, Thailand officially resumed operations. The first flight of the resumed route, carrying 22.4 tons of durian, 3.7 tons of grapefruit, and other fresh fruits, arrived at Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport at 16:52 on the same day, marking the reopening of the "fruit express line" between Central China and Southeast Asia.
To ensure the rapid clearance of fresh produce, Zhengzhou Airport Customs has implemented various facilitation measures, optimizing the operation process for the designated supervision sites for imported fruits, achieving an "integrated" operation of sorting, storage, and inspection, compressing the overall clearance time, and enabling the arrival of Thai fruits "on the same day and on the market the next day."
The route plans to operate three flights per week, with each flight capable of carrying approximately 25 tons of fruit. In addition to the durian and grapefruit on the first flight, subsequent flights will also import more Thai fruits such as coconuts and lychees. As of now, the number of imported fresh produce categories at Zhengzhou Air Port has increased to over 30, covering fruits, ice-fresh aquatic products, and edible aquatic animals.
