Fifteen kilometers to the southeast of downtown, the Hohhot Baita International Airport is the largest air transport hub in Inner Mongolia, with airlines radiating to almost all the provincial capitals and small-to-medium cities in China.
The airport's field is classed at the 4E level. Its terminal building, covering 50,000 square meters, can hold 900 people per hour. By 2013, the airport had 132 air routes, 125 of which are domestic, accessible to 63 cities.
