The IATA Cargo Day - North Asia Guangzhou International Air Cargo Hub High-quality Development Conference were held in Guangzhou from December 7th to 8th. The event highlighted the significant strides in the development of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport's cargo facilities.

In 2022, Baiyun Airport handled a cargo throughput of over 1.88 million tons, securing its position as the second busiest airport for cargo in the country for the third consecutive year since 2020. This accomplishment reflects the stability and efficiency of the supply chain in Guangdong and Guangzhou.

In November 2022, the success of the"Guangzhou Airport-based National Logistic Hub Construction Plan" led to its inclusion in the national logistics hub construction list for the year. As per the plan, the Guangzhou Air Hub National Logistics Hub will leverage Baiyun Airport and the Comprehensive Bonded Zone to build the Asia-Pacific Air Cargo Logistics Center. The aim is to collaborate with neighboring national logistics hubs and actively create an aviation logistics gateway network serving the Greater Bay Area, radiating globally.

Since the beginning of 2023, Baiyun Airport has introduced 14 new cargo routes, connecting Guangzhou to destinations such as Chennai, New York, Madrid, and Milan. Guangzhou now boasts over 60 cargo routes in operation, and Baiyun Airport accounts for nearly one-third of the air cargo volume in the Greater Bay Area. Its route network connects over 230 global destinations, contributing to Guangzhou's role as a global production and supply chain hub, realizing the vision of"local goods for global shipping and global goods gathering in Guangzhou", and continuing to lead in China's high-quality development.

Furthermore, the third-phase expansion at Baiyun Airport is progressing rapidly. Once completed, the airport will transform into a more powerful hub with five runways, two terminal areas, and two cargo terminal areas (both east and west). The cargo terminal area will expand from the current 500,000 square meters to over 1 million square meters, boosting the terminal's cargo throughput capacity to 6 million tons.
