## Description

Runways shimmering in the Gobi heat and fighter jets instead of freighters: Dingxin-Shuangchengzi Air Base north of Jiuquan in Gansu province is a People's Liberation Army Air Force test and training facility. There are no civilian operations, no IATA code and no cargo handling of any kind, and the surrounding exercise airspace is closed to general traffic. Commercial air freight for the Jiuquan and Jinta area moves through Jiayuguan Airport (JGN) roughly 100 kilometres to the south-west, while intercontinental shipments are routed via Lanzhou Zhongchuan (LHW) some 700 kilometres to the south-east. Road feeder service follows the G30 Lianhuo expressway along the Hexi Corridor, paralleled by the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway that already carries most of the region's industrial freight. Customs clearance for imports and exports takes place in Lanzhou or Jiayuguan rather than locally. Shippers planning air freight into north-western Gansu should therefore budget an extra day of trucking from the nearest cargo terminal.
