Gateway to Inner Mongolia's remote Alxa desert region.

Location

Bayanhot, China

Alxa Left Banner Bayanhot Airport (IATA: AXF, ICAO: ZBAL) is a small regional airport serving Bayanhot, the capital of Alxa Left Banner in the Alxa League of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. The airport provides essential air connectivity to this remote desert area, which is otherwise difficult to access by land due to the vast distances and sparse road infrastructure.
