## Description

Cashmere, chilled lamb and lignite are Xilingol's signature exports, yet almost none of it leaves through Xilinhot Airport (XIL). The airport's scheduled flights to Beijing and Hohhot carry passengers — mining executives, herders and summer grassland tourists — with only marginal belly space for parcels. No cargo terminal operates on site. Coal moves out of the basin by rail, while time-critical air freight is trucked some 600 km to Beijing Daxing (PKX) or Beijing Capital (PEK). For forwarders, Xilinhot is a passenger point, not a freight option.
