Zhengzhou–Xinzheng Airport intercity railway (Chinese: 郑机城际铁路) is a regional higher-speed railway in Zhengzhou, Henan, China. The railway provides Zhengzhou city center fast train connections with Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport. It is a component of the larger Central Plain Metropolitan Intercity Rail network. With the opening of the railway, it takes only 19 mins from Zhengzhou East Railway Station to Xinzheng Airport.^[1]

Stations

There are four stations along the railway:

CRH2A EMUs had been used for service in the initial operation stage. From February 2018, new CRH6A EMUs have replaced CRH2As for service. ^[2]

The extension project is under construction to extend this line from Xinzheng Airport to the proposed new high-speed railway hub Zhengzhou South railway station, which is about 6 km (3.7 mi) to the east of Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport.
