## Description

South-eastern Inner Mongolia is served by Chifeng Yulong Airport (CIF/ZBCF), a joint civil-military field whose freight role is modest by design: the last officially documented year, 2023, records 1,829.1 tonnes of cargo and mail against 1,924,464 passengers. In 2024 the airport passed two million passengers for the first time on 23 December and closed the year at roughly 2.05 million, fifth among Inner Mongolia's nineteen airports, while cargo figures for 2024 and 2025 remain unconfirmed. No dedicated cargo terminal, freighter operation, cargo airline or handling agent is confirmed at the field, so goods move as belly cargo on domestic services. Terminal T2 is in service, and a daily A320 link to Guiyang started on 30 March 2025, though sources disagree on which carrier operates it. International customs status is not confirmed, so import and export consignments in practice route through the major gateways — Beijing Capital (PEK) for international connections, with Hohhot Baita (HET) as the alternative within the region.
