Ezhou Huahu Airport (EHU)
Ezhou Huahu Airport (EHU, ICAO: ZHEC) opened in July 2022 in Ezhou, Hubei Province, China, as Asia's first dedicated cargo/express-freight hub airport. It sits roughly 94 km (about 1 hour 20 minutes by road) from Wuhan, the region's main city.
Overview — a cargo hub with limited passenger service
EHU is built and majority-operated for freight, not passengers: express carrier SF Airlines (SF Express) holds a 46% stake in the airport operator and runs it as the anchor of its domestic and long-haul cargo network, including freighter routes as far as Paris. Scheduled passenger service exists but is secondary and limited — around 7 passenger routes connect EHU to roughly 9 domestic Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Kunming. There is no confirmed scheduled international passenger service, and most travellers to the wider Wuhan area still use Wuhan Tianhe International Airport instead.
Where It Connects To
Passenger flights from EHU run to a handful of major domestic Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu and Kunming — check current schedules carefully, as route networks at cargo-primary airports can change.
Airlines and Hubs
SF Airlines is the dominant operator at EHU, running it as a cargo hub. Passenger flights are operated by mainline Chinese domestic carriers on a limited schedule; EHU is not a passenger hub for any airline.
Terminal
EHU has a passenger terminal alongside much larger dedicated cargo-sorting and freight-transit facilities — the airport's infrastructure is built primarily around cargo operations.
Getting To/From Ezhou and Wuhan
There's no direct rail link; travellers typically use taxi, rideshare or a road transfer — the drive to Wuhan takes around 1 hour 20 minutes.
Facilities
As a young, cargo-first airport, passenger-side facilities are basic — check-in, seating and limited food and retail — without the amenities of a major passenger hub.
