## Description

RUG is a code freight bookers should treat with caution: Rugao Air Base in Jiangsu province is a military airfield with no scheduled civil traffic. There is no cargo terminal, customs point or ground handler – the base plays no role in commercial logistics. Shipments for Rugao and the wider Nantong area move through Nantong Xingdong Airport (NTG), which offers scheduled freight capacity. For intercontinental lift, Shanghai Pudong (PVG), about two hours away by truck, remains the default choice. Rugao itself sits within the Yangtze River Delta's dense expressway grid, making road feeder services straightforward.
