About Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone
On March 7, 2013, the State Council approved the development plan of Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone, which is the first and currently the only national-level aerotropolis economic development pioneer area approved by the State Council. Henan provincial government identified Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone as the "Air Silk Road" pilot area, which is required to build a "modernized, internationalized, world-class logistics hub", a "core growth pole of the Central Plains Economic Zone and Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area", and an institutional open "Central Plains Special Zone". The actual area under the jurisdiction of the region is currently 747.8 square kilometers, with a population of over 1 million people, a built-up area of 110 square kilometers, and an infrastructure coverage of over 220 square kilometers. Zhengzhou Airport Station of high-speed railway has been opened, and the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone has officially entered the era of "airport + high-speed railway" double hub. The international land port and Zhengzhou water port are also under planning and construction, which will form the "air-rail-land-water" four-port linkage development pattern in the future and further strengthen the advantages of the comprehensive transportation hub.
