It is also the first pilot zone in inland China to do cross-border Renminbi business and introduce overseas talent, and a forerunner zone in building the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg "Air Silk Road."
About 25 kilometers southeast of downtown Zhengzhou, the airport zone, covering 747 square kilometers with a population of nearly one million, is located right in the center of the Zhengzhou-Kaifeng-Xuchang triangle region, commanding an advantageous position of connecting different parts of the country.

It is a comprehensive transportation hub integrating various travel modes, including aviation, high-speed railway, subway, urban rail transit, normal-speed railway, expressway, and fast road. According to the Outline of the Ecological Protection and High-quality Development Plan of the Yellow River Basin, efforts will be made to support the zone in strengthening its leading industries and to speed up the construction of the Zhengzhou International Air Cargo Hub.
At present, the Zhengzhou Airport Zone is home to the Xinzheng International Airport, the Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone, the functional ports for meat, medicine, live cattle, fruits, chilled aquatic products, edible aquatic animals, and international mail transit, two industrial clusters each with a 100-billion-yuan output value (in electronic information; trade, convention, and exhibition), and eight ones each with a 10-billion-yuan output value (in biomedicine, smart devices, semiconductor, new display, new energy, new infrastructure, air logistics, and cross-border e-commerce).
