## Description

Some 36,700 tonnes of cargo and mail passed through Yinchuan Hedong International Airport (IATA: INC) as early as 2016, and its facilities are dimensioned for 100,000 tonnes a year. The airport, 19 km southeast of Yinchuan, is the principal air freight location of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Outbound shipments are dominated by regional specialities such as goji berries, Tan lamb and Helan Mountain wines, supported by cold-chain handling for perishables. The Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone offers duty-suspended warehousing and processing for cross-border e-commerce exporters. Road access via the G20 Qingdao–Yinchuan and G6 Beijing–Lhasa expressways ties the airport into northwest China's corridors, while the city's role as host of the China-Arab States Expo underpins trade links with the Middle East and Central Asia. For forwarders, INC is Ningxia's reference point for air cargo; heavy intercontinental volumes are typically routed via Xi'an Xianyang (XIY).
