The second is to accelerate the integration with other new technologies and new formats, and the regional economic growth power source based on field effects. Third, diversified consumption needs to be closely connected, and the transportation infrastructure supporting the market is transformed into a metropolitan consumer experience center and distribution hub that serves cutting-edge consumption. The fourth is to respect the law of air transport network, global supply chain and the planning and layout of China's regional economic city clusters, and adjust the division of labor and layout of passenger and cargo aviation hubs.
