## Description

Just 108.5 tonnes of cargo and mail passed through Chengde Puning Airport (CDE/ZBCD) in 2021 against 294,900 passengers — a ratio that places this Hebei airport 179th nationally for freight and settles the question of its cargo role. Opened on 31 May 2017 about 20 kilometres northeast of Chengde at Tougou, it was built to Chinese 4C standard with a 2,800-metre runway, a 5,000-square-metre terminal and five aircraft stands. What air freight there is moves as belly cargo on domestic services to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen and Kunming; no cargo terminal, scheduled freighter operation or dedicated customs post is documented here. The region's steel and vanadium-titanium magnetite mining industries, together with tourism to the Qing imperial summer resort, rely on road transport to the coast for their import and export flows. Beijing Capital (PEK), Beijing Daxing (PKX) and Tianjin Binhai (TSN) are the realistic gateways, roughly 200 to 300 road kilometres away, mostly via the G45 expressway. Treat CDE as a passenger feeder point and plan the customs clearance and consolidation step at one of those three airports.
