Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (IATA: CGO, ICAO: ZHCC) is an international airport serving Zhengzhou, the capital of South Central China’s Henan province.
The airport is located in Xinzheng, 37 kilometres (23 mi) southeast of downtown Zhengzhou. It was opened on 28 August 1997, replacing its predecessor, the now-demolished Dongjiao Airport. The airport is the largest international airport in Henan and serves as a main gateway for the province and the central plain area.
The airport is operated by Henan Airport Group and is a hub for Cargolux,[1] as well as a focus city for China Southern Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, West Air, Lucky Air, and Donghai Airlines. According to statistics of 2018, it is the 12th-busiest airport by passenger traffic in the People's Republic of China with 27,334,730 passengers, and the seventh busiest airport in terms of cargo traffic nationwide.[3][4] As of 2018, the airport is the busiest airport in central China in both passenger and cargo traffic.[5]
Its IATA code "CGO" is derived from Zhengzhou's former romanization Chengchow.
