Location
Erenhot, China
Erenhot Saiwusu International Airport (IATA: ERL, ICAO: ZBER) serves Erenhot, a border city in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, situated on the China-Mongolia frontier. The airport provides essential air connectivity for this remote but strategically important border trading hub.

Given its location in a sparsely populated but economically significant border zone, the airport operates a modest number of scheduled domestic services, linking Erenhot with cities such as Hohhot and Beijing.
