## Description

Larch forests, turquoise water and a runway that wakes up for the tourist season: Burqin Kanas Airport (KJI), opened in 2007 in Xinjiang's far north, exists to fly visitors to the Kanas Lake nature reserve in the Altai mountains. Services operate seasonally, mostly via Ürümqi. There is no cargo handling and no commercial freight demand at the site. Airfreight for the Altay region is processed at Ürümqi Tianshan International, a full day's trucking to the south.
