What Travellers Should Know

The airport’s relatively high elevation of 4,557 feet (1,389 metres) and its long, lighted asphalt runway help support safe operations in a region where weather, visibility, and distance can matter more than in lower, denser urban areas. If you are planning arrival or departure times, remember the airport operates on Asia/Shanghai time, which is the standard time used across China. Because Ordos is spread out and the surrounding region is best explored by road after landing, it is smart to confirm your ground transport plans in advance, especially if you are heading beyond the city itself.
