　　 3月25日国家口岸办官网发布消息称，2024年3月19日国务院批复同意湖北鄂州花湖机场对外开放。

　　On March 25, the official website of the National Office of Port Administration released news that the State Council had approved on March 19 the opening of Huahu Airport in Hubei's Erzhou as an international airport.

　　作为国家重大生产力布局，花湖机场担负着代表中国参与全球航空物流竞争的重任。花湖机场是我省第四个获批对外开放的航空口岸，也是全国首个获批对外开放的专业性货运枢纽机场。花湖机场获批对外开放将助力我省加快发展新质生产力，为花湖机场加快探索建设国际自由贸易航空港提供有力支撑。

　　Huahu is the fourth airport in Hubei and the first professional cargo hub airport in China to have obtained such approval.

　　2022年7月17日，花湖机场正式通航，11月28日开启首条国内货运航线。

　　The airport was officially opened on July 17, 2022 and the first domestic cargo route was launched on Nov.28 that year.

　　2023年1月，鄂州花湖机场航空口岸获批临时开放，4月1日开通“鄂州—比利时”首条国际货运航线，8月28日提前四个月完成1.5万吨进出口货邮量目标，10月28日开通“鄂州—大阪”第10条国际货运航线，11月3日正式开启国际快件业务，11月20日获批设立进境水果、食用水生动物、冰鲜水产品综合性指定监管场地。

　　On Jan. 2023 the airport's aviation port was approved for temporary opening and the first Ezhou - Belgium international cargo route was opened on April 1. The target of 15,000 tonnes of import and export cargoes was completed four months ahead of schedule on Aug. 28. The 10th international cargo route, the Ezhou – Osaka route, was opened on Oct. 28. The international express business was officially opened on Nov. 3. On Nov. 20, the airport was approved to set up a comprehensive designated supervision site for imported fruits, edible aquatic animals and chilled aquatic products.

　　今年1月，花湖机场进出境货运航班破千，进出口货邮量突破4万吨。

　　In January this year, the inbound and outbound cargo flights exceeded a thousand, and the import and export cargo volume reached more than 40,000 tonnes.

　　据介绍，花湖机场开航投运不到半年就获批临时开放，获批临时开放当年就列入国家口岸开放年度审理计划，获批临时开放14个月就获批正式开放，创造了近年来国内机场航空口岸获批临时开放、正式开放最快记录。下一步，省商务厅（省口岸办）将会同鄂州市及省联检单位，加快推进机场正式开放验收工作。
