## Description

Few commercial airports sit in emptier surroundings: Qiemo Yudu Airport (IQM) serves the oasis town of Qiemo on the southern rim of the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest city of any size. The current field opened in 2020, replacing an older airstrip, and handles feeder flights to Korla and Ürümqi. There is no air cargo handling; shipments from the area – jade, dates, mining supplies – move by truck or via passenger feeders to Ürümqi Diwopu (URC), Xinjiang's freight centre with international cargo links toward Central Asia and Europe.
