## Description

Yarkant County's farm economy – pomegranates, almonds and walnuts from one of southern Xinjiang's largest oasis districts – moves to market by road, not through its airport. Shache Airport (QSZ) handles regional passenger flights, chiefly towards Ürümqi and Kashgar, connecting this remote corner of the Tarim Basin to the national network. There is no cargo terminal and no customs handling on site. Air freight for the area is consolidated at Kashgar (KHG) or at Ürümqi Diwopu (URC), Xinjiang's main cargo airport. Historically the seat of the Yarkand Khanate, the town is a stop on the southern Silk Road rather than a logistics location.
