Yusen Logistics (China) Co., Ltd, a Chinese subsidiary of Yusen Logistics Co., Ltd, has established a joint venture company in Ezhou, Hubei Province, China, and will start cargo terminal operation at Ezhou Huahu Airport.
Ezhou Huahu Airport opened in July 2022 and is expected to be one of the largest air cargo hubs in Asia with its expansion. The feature of this airport is its special location which is not only easy to access for Tianhe Airport, the river port and railway station in Wuhan, but it is also in the centre of China’s major cities. As the leading airport for the Hubei International Logistics Core Hub Project in Hubei Province, Tianhe Airport and Ezhou Huahu Airport are aiming to create an “air road to the overseas”.
In 2021, YLCN established a joint venture company, Ezhou Yusen Dadao Zhongcai Logistics Co., Ltd (EYDL), with Hubei Dadaozhongcai Import and Export Service Co., Ltd. YLCN is set to start cargo terminal operations and cargo charter arrangement service at Ezhou Huahu Airport in May 2025.
On March 24, 2024, a groundbreaking ceremony for the start of construction of the cargo terminal was successfully held.
Through its expansion into this new business field, YLCN will contribute to create the customers’ supply chain by providing new values, such as the development of a new transportation model relaying Hubei Province, located in the centre of China, and the proposal of multiple transportation using sea freight, air freight, rail and warehouse management, highlighted a release.
