The opening of Terminal 3 at Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport – located in the Guizhou Shuanglong Airport Economic Zone in Guiyang, capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province – has brought great benefits to resident companies.
Wang Dengrong, deputy general manager of Guizhou Weite Food Company, has always been concerned about the development of the airport.
He said that the company mainly focuses on the production of aviation food – and now the airport has been expanded again, it will usher in a new round of development opportunities, with its output value expected to increase by 1.5 times in the current year.
Wang said there was an existing two-way cement road going in both directions in front of the company, leading to Yunguan Road, Longshui Road and other main thoroughfares and 17-meter-long trucks could pass through it. "In 2019, this road was upgraded and transformed into an asphalt road," Wang said.
"Although the company's scale is getting bigger and bigger, by relying on the advantages of Shuanglong's transportation hub, the logistics costs have been reduced by half," he added.
With the rapid development of the Shuanglong zone, the company has gradually extended its transformation from traditional food manufacturing to modern and efficient food processing.
Since the establishment of the Shuanglong zone in 2014, the construction of 50 roads with a total length of 166 kilometers and a total investment of 36.5 billion yuan ($5.73 billion) has been undertaken, creating a fast and efficient transportation system.
