## Description

Cargo throughput at Changbaishan Airport (NBS, ZYBS) near Baishan in Jilin province came to 6.2 tonnes in 2025, against 633,741 passengers — a ratio that describes the airport's purpose exactly: tourism to the Changbai volcanic range, the Tianchi crater lake and the ski resorts along the North Korean border. A new T2 terminal covering 20,731 square metres with 20 aircraft stands entered service on 22 June 2025, built for passenger peaks rather than goods. There is no cargo terminal, no freighter handling and no dedicated customs post for consignments; the 4,668 aircraft movements recorded in 2025 were effectively all scheduled and charter passenger flights, including services to Beijing, Shanghai and Changchun. Regional export goods such as Changbai ginseng and mineral water therefore leave the mountains by road. Air freight for Baishan and Fusong is handled at Changchun Longjia (CGQ) roughly 350 road kilometres to the northwest, with Shenyang Taoxian (SHE) as a second option for traffic heading south toward the coast.
