The international logistics park, renovated in May, has increased its annual capacity for international cargo and mail to 300,000 metric tons. It now integrates data from customs, airlines, logistics companies, and other stakeholders to identify and accurately intercept high-risk goods, improving release efficiency by 40 percent.
As of now, the park's aviation logistics companies operate 19 full cargo routes. Cargo flight frequency involved in the Belt and Road Initiative has reached 20 flights per week, helping products made in Shaanxi reach the global markets.

The cargo station covers an area of 117,000 square meters, operates 24 hours a day, and has an annual capacity of 450,000 tons. The process of goods from arrival to loading has been reduced to 10 minutes, and the AGV unmanned forklift system is currently being tested. The station is equipped with a full-board cargo extraction channel, which can complete full-board loading in only 5 minutes. Small items can be sorted in shipping cages and delivered on the same day.
The station will continue to upgrade and move toward unmanned, automated, and intelligent operations, striving to create a modern air cargo terminal, injecting strong impetus into regional economic development.
