On September 13th, the "Tbilisi-Haikou-Paris" fifth freedom international freight route was opened at Haikou Meilan International Airport in Hainan. After optimization and adjustment, the original "Haikou-Tbilisi-Tel Aviv" international freight route was changed to the "Tbilisi-Tel Aviv-Haikou" fifth freedom international freight route. So far, since September, Haikou has successively added two international freight routes with fifth freedom rights, further opening up the air economic corridor between Hainan Free Trade Port and Europe and the Middle East.
Based on the transportation rights granted by the fifth freedom right, the two new routes can transport goods exported from all over the country via Haikou to Tbilisi and Paris, and can also bring back goods exported from Tbilisi and Paris to China. Since the beginning of this year, meilan airport has operated a total of six international cargo routes, and initially built an international cargo route network with Haikou as the radiation point, covering Europe, West Asia, the Middle East and other regions. As of September 13th, meilan airport has completed a cumulative international cargo and mail throughput of about 16,600 tons this year, and the total value of cross-border e-commerce goods exceeds 680 million yuan.
