It will enhance regional connectivity, improve logistics and passenger travel, and support the development of local industries such as agricultural product transport, tourism, emergency response, and environmental management.

The new facility is expected to inject fresh momentum into Inner Mongolia's general aviation industry and promote interregional connectivity.

Additionally, the general airports in Inner Mongolia's Horqin Right Middle Banner and Horqin Right Front Banner have recently passed final inspections and are expected to begin operations soon.
