Opened in September 2013 on the Tibetan plateau of Sichuan's Garzê prefecture, it cuts the journey to the Yading nature reserve from a two-day drive to a one-hour flight from Chengdu, with further links to Chongqing and Kunming. Thin air sharply limits aircraft payloads, and no cargo handling exists. Airfreight for the region is processed at Chengdu Tianfu (TFU) and Shuangliu (CTU).","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/airports/daocheng-yading-airport-dcy","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/airports/en/daocheng-yading-airport-dcy","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Frachtportal","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Daocheng Yading Airport · (IATA: DCY) · Garzê (Daocheng), CN · 4411 m"}
