## Description

An IATA code without airline service: YUA designates Yuanmou Air Base in Yunnan's Chuxiong prefecture, a military airfield with no scheduled civil operations. No public cargo handling, customs office or forwarding infrastructure is available on site. The area is better known for the discovery of Yuanmou Man, one of China's oldest hominid fossils, than for any freight activity. Air cargo to and from this part of Yunnan is processed at Kunming Changshui (KMG), the province's intercontinental airport with dedicated cargo facilities.
