## Description

Cargo and mail throughput at Baise Bama Airport (AEB / ICAO ZGBS) came to just 34.5 tonnes across the whole of 2019, which places its freight role in perspective: this is a regional passenger field, not a cargo station. Operated by Guangxi Airport Group and used for both civil and military purposes, it handled around 225,185 passengers in 2019, fell to 46,267 in 2022 during the pandemic downturn, and recovered to roughly 186,093 in 2023. Services run mainly to Guangzhou and other domestic Chinese cities; there is no cargo terminal, no freighter handling and no dedicated air-cargo customs area, so shipments move only as belly cargo on passenger aircraft. Baise is known as China's aluminium capital, with substantial bauxite deposits, but that heavy industry relies on rail and Youjiang river barges rather than aircraft. The region's subtropical winter vegetables reach northern China on dedicated produce trains such as the 'Baise No. 1'. For air freight into or out of Baise, Nanning Wuxu (NNG) about 230 km east is the practical gateway via expressway trucking, with Guangzhou Baiyun (CAN) or Shenzhen (SZX) the options for larger volumes.
