## Description

Few airports are named after a liquor brand: Yibin Wuliangye Airport (YBP) in southern Sichuan carries the name of China's most famous baijiu distillery and opened in December 2019, replacing the old Caiba city airfield. In 2024 it handled 8,083 tonnes of cargo and mail, all as belly freight on passenger services — there are no freighter operations. Demand comes from spirits shipments and from Yibin's fast-growing battery industry, with CATL operating major cell plants in the city. Yibin sits at the confluence of the Min and Jinsha rivers, the official starting point of the Yangtze, adding river-port connectivity for heavy cargo. For international air freight and volume shipments, forwarders rely on Chengdu Tianfu (TFU) or Chongqing Jiangbei (CKG).
