Xilinhot Airport

Xilinhot Airport (IATA: XIL, ICAO: ZBXH) is a domestic civil airport serving Xilinhot, the administrative center of the Xilingol League in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. The airport connects this remote steppe city to major Chinese urban centers, supporting both passenger travel and regional economic activity. The surrounding region is known for its expansive grasslands, Mongolian cultural heritage, and coal and mineral resources. Air travel is particularly important here given the significant distances to other major cities across Inner Mongolia and beyond. The airport primarily handles domestic routes, with carriers linking Xilinhot to cities such as Beijing, Hohhot, and other regional hubs. It plays a key role in facilitating tourism to the grasslands and supporting local industry.
