## Description

Cherries are the signature commodity at Yantai Penglai International Airport (YNT/ZSYT), which handled 72,622 tonnes of cargo in 2025 — some 5,466 tonnes of that were Yantai cherries moved under cold chain. Since Terminal 2 opened in June 2024 the airport reports an annual cargo capacity of 200,000 tonnes, leaving considerable headroom. Most volume travels as belly freight on domestic services, supplemented by cold-chain and e-commerce shipments; through freighter services to long-haul markets are generally built over the larger Chinese gateways rather than flown directly from Yantai. The airport sits on the tip of the Shandong peninsula, closer to Korea than to Beijing, with Seoul about an hour's flying time away — useful for time-critical electronics and perishables. For intercontinental freight, forwarders normally route via Qingdao Jiaodong (TAO) or Shanghai Pudong (PVG). Yantai is also an industrial city with a substantial seaport, shipping vehicle components and equipment for the gold-mining district of nearby Zhaoyuan, so sea-air combinations are worth checking. Since late 2025 the city has been pushing a multimodal programme linking port, rail and airport, while expressways and the coastal high-speed line tie the peninsula firmly into Shandong's logistics grid.
