## Description

A second terminal opened in June 2024 lifted Yantai Penglai International Airport (YNT) to an overall capacity of 200,000 tonnes of cargo per year. Sitting on the tip of the Shandong peninsula, the airport is closer to Korea than to Beijing – Seoul is about an hour's flight away, which favours time-critical electronics and perishable shipments. Yantai's export profile is distinctly fresh: apples, seafood and wine from the Changyu cellars, China's oldest winery, all travel well by air. The city is also an industrial centre with a sizeable seaport, shipping vehicle components and equipment for the gold-mining district of nearby Zhaoyuan. For intercontinental freight, forwarders typically route via Qingdao Jiaodong (TAO) or Shanghai (PVG), while YNT covers the Korea-Japan corridor and the domestic network. Expressways and the coastal high-speed railway tie the peninsula firmly into Shandong's logistics grid.
