In the beginning of November, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft steadily landed on the runway of the Bayan Nao’er Airport. This signifies that the trial flight of the Bayan Nao’er Airport was a success. The Bayan Nao’er Airport is located in the Hetao area, in Inner Mongolia and was put into construction back in January, 2011. With a total investment of 360 million Yuan, the flight area was designed as 4C. 3 parking stands, 2 aerobridges, a terminal of 7,076 square meters, a runway of 2,600 meters long and an apron of 18,900 square meters were built. It is designed to handle a passenger throughput of 230 thousand people, and a cargo and mail volume of 810 tons by the year 2020. By that time, it should also be able to accommodate the Boeing 737-800 aircraft and the A320 aircraft. At the beginning when the airport is opened to air routes, it will open two flight routes to Beijing and to Hohhot. Then, it will connect to Xi’an. Finally, with the three hub airports of Hohhot, Beijing and Xi’an, it can be connected to further surrounding areas.
