Location
Dunhuang, China
Dunhuang Yadan Airport is a small regional airport serving the Dunhuang area in Gansu Province, northwestern China. It is distinct from the older Dunhuang Airport (IATA: DNH) and is associated with access to the Yadan National Geological Park, a dramatic landscape of wind-eroded rock formations in the Gobi Desert.
The airport operates limited scheduled and charter services, reflecting the relatively low passenger volumes of the surrounding desert region. Its development aligns with Chinese government efforts to expand aviation infrastructure in remote western China to support tourism growth.
