Runway And Operations

The airport sits at an elevation of 2,169 feet (661 metres), a useful detail for aviation-minded travellers and anyone keeping an eye on weather or aircraft performance. It has one runway, 09/27, measuring 8,530 feet and built with a concrete surface, and it is also lighted, which supports operations in lower-light conditions. In practical terms, that means passengers can expect facilities suited to regular commercial service rather than a small local airstrip setup.

Planning Your Trip

When arranging transport, check all flight times against Asia/Shanghai time to avoid confusion, especially if you are connecting from another region. Knowing the airport serves Hailar directly can make onward planning easier, since taxi, ride pickup, or local transfer arrangements can be made with the city rather than a remote airport in mind. Before departure, it is also worth saving both the airport name and the code HLD in your booking app for quick reference.
