The world's largest air cargo company - Luxembourg International Cargo Air, it has been able to win the "best air cargo airline Award" for many years? Why is it the only international freight company in the world with international professional certification to efficiently and safely transport medicines and live animals?

The logos of the four global freight forwarders, "DB Schenker, Panalpina, Kuehn&Nagel, DHL", together with the brand names of airlines such as "Qatar Cargo" and "Lufthansa Cargo", are embedded in the light box wall in front of the cargo terminal building. Luxembourg's Findel Airport is not as grand as it might be, but it is home to 24 of the world's top cargo airlines and freight forwarding companies.

108 meters between the truck and the plane

    At 7:45 a.m., the city of Luxembourg was still dark, and in sharp contrast to the deserted roads, there were freight trucks with various names such as WALLEN BORN. From here, the largest trucking company in Europe, Van Rombo delivers goods to 177 destinations in Europe every day.

A space the size of nearly four football fields is packed with all kinds of goods. Workers in cargo overalls are busy packing and packing goods. The rectangular cargo terminal connects the airport apron and 43 passageways for truck flights. When the goods are unloaded from the apron, they are transported directly through the rail conveyor belt in the cargo terminal building to the truck channel at the other end, the intermediate distance is only 108 meters.

"The truck access and the gates connecting to the apron access are custom-built in order to avoid multiple transfers and can be loaded and unloaded directly from the station via the transporters." Lu Cargo Air staff Anne told reporters that there are at least 1,000 tons of goods imported here every day, only to shorten the distance and time of the loading and unloading of goods, can effectively improve the production efficiency of the logistics chain and reduce the detention time of goods. "Usually it only takes 10 minutes for a group of goods to go from the plane to the truck."

Different areas in the whole cargo station building represent different countries, in the Chinese region, the reporter saw that under the number 52 tag, are packed goods that will be sent to Zhengzhou. The glass room not far away is the duty room of LuC Cargo Airlines all year round, which can respond to various emergencies at any time, and can also handle emergency goods at any time.

The only live transport qualification in the world

    In front of the transport door on the 24th, a large white box with several partitions inside attracted the attention of reporters. "These are containers for horses, with a maximum of three horses per box, mostly from Europe to all over the world for equestrian competitions." It is reported that this 0.8 tons, worth 45,000 euros live animal cargo box is currently the most advanced innovation in the global aviation industry.

Leaving the cargo terminal building, Anne showed the reporter around the "cold chain warehouse" that made them proud. Lucarair has ISO, TAPA, Car go2000 and a series of international qualification certifications on quality control, high-value cargo transportation, dangerous goods transportation, and cold chain transportation. Its exclusive EU Pharmaceutical GDP certification makes it the world's most advanced cargo airline for vaccine products, dangerous goods and live animals.

Entering the warehouse, a picture of pills and thermometers on the wall stands out. In order to adapt to the temperature control requirements of different goods storage and transportation, the temperature in each warehouse can be adjusted at any time. Vitamin series medicine boxes that are being packed are labeled "15°C ~ 25°C."

The reporter noticed that although there are many three-dimensional lamps in the room, there is no imagined brightness. "Cold chain warehouses not only have strict requirements on temperature, but also the adjustment of lighting." Anne also introduced that the warehouse information of LuC Cargo Airlines has reached the world advanced level, and each shelf and each pallet are equipped with information terminals, so that both logistics parties and customers can check the information of goods at any time through electronic products.

“"Your mouse, my target"”

    In addition to efficient transportation methods and advanced cold chain storage, Luc Cargo Air also has a technologically advanced and flexible flight plan cargo fleet, including 11 Boeing 747-400F full freighters and 11 of the most advanced new Boeing 747-8F full freighters, which can handle oversized and overweight cargo according to different customer needs. It can transport 1.2 million tons of cargo per year.

Came to the Lu cargo air aircraft maintenance base, the two "air giant" parked in the hangar side by side, is carrying out internal cleaning and external maintenance. "This hangar can support all levels of inspection and maintenance work for the 747 family." Anne told reporters that a series of specialized maintenance services can also be provided for other types of aircraft approved.

Covering more than 90 navigation points around the world, Luycargo Air cargo network has gradually formed an advanced air cargo operation mode and management system through more than 40 years of operation and exploration, and its load rate, aircraft utilization and other business indicators are in the leading position in the industry. In addition to the perfect aircraft maintenance facilities, there is also a sound pilot training system.

"We always adhere to the business philosophy of quality." When the reporter asked what the company slogan "younameit, weflyit" stands for, Anne smiled and said: "Literally means' you designate, I deliver ', in fact, it means that you move the mouse, we will deliver the goods as the goal." In her view, the slogan of Lu Cargo Airlines is similar to the "buy the world, sell the world" proposed by the Zhengzhou Air Port area.

Luxembourg: No effort is spared in the development of aviation economy

    In the interview in Luxembourg, in addition to seeing the advanced and professional cargo of the cargo "big guy", what made the reporter feel the most is the Luxembourg government's spare no effort to support the development of aviation.

In the process of building an air logistics system for Luxembourg Cargo Airlines, the Luxembourg government has unified the distribution and development of various logistics elements, concentrated resources near the airport and reserved sufficient space for development. Luxembourg International Airlines, Luxembourg Cargo Airlines, truck companies and various professional storage facilities are concentrated around Luxembourg Airport, which can realize the rapid loading and unloading of goods.

In addition, LuC Cargo Airlines implements unified planning, unified design, overall development and overall management of various freight facilities and logistics links, effectively improving the production efficiency of the entire logistics chain, rationalizing the connection between various links, reducing the detention time of goods, and avoiding the repeated construction and resource consumption that may be caused by multi-management and multi-development.

Strong government support has resulted in one of the largest air cargo hubs in Europe today. Since the 1990s, the Luxembourg government has played a crucial role in the development and growth of the local aviation economy and aviation industry, and gradually built the aviation economy and logistics industry into one of the national pillar industries by continuously strengthening the infrastructure construction of Luxembourg Airport, expanding the scale of cargo aviation operations in Luxembourg, and establishing the ground distribution system.

"Rome wasn't built in a day," and the aerotropolis won't go from paper to reality overnight. At present, the construction of Zhengzhou Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone is the most direct and realistic major opportunity facing Henan. Whether we can copy the development model of Luxembourg depends on how to be keenly aware of the opportunities, grasp the opportunities intelligently and firmly, and open the breakthrough of the opening up of inland cities with the charm of aviation economy.

An air Silk Road, a hub city, an aviation dream, perhaps the future of Henan, can go further than the dream.
