Hubei Huahu Airport is an important support for Hubei to build a domestic large -scale link and domestic and international double -cycle strategic links. The airport is close to the Golden Waterway of the Yangtze River, surrounded by multiple deep -water ports and multiple highways and high -speed rail lines. There are 3 prefecture -level centers within 20 kilometers, about 80 kilometers from the center of Wuhan, and 7 national levels within 100 kilometers. The development zone can radiate tens of millions of people in East Hubei, with obvious location advantages.

As my country's first professional freight hub airport, Ezhou Huahu Airport is positioned as a freight hub, passenger branch line, public platform, and shipping base. After the airport is officially launched, this year, it will gradually open passenger routes from Ezhou to Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming, Qingdao, Ningbo and other places, as well as the freight routes from Ezhou to Shenzhen, Shanghai, Frankfurt, Osaka and other places. The recent planning target is 1 million passenger throughput in 2025 and 2.45 million tons of cargo and postal throughput.
