About Ejin Banner Taolai Airport
Ejin Banner Taolai Airport is a small domestic airport serving Dalaihob town and Ejin Banner in the Alxa League of Inner Mongolia. Opened in 2013, it was part of China's first commuter aviation pilot programme in Alxa League and brought scheduled air services to one of the region's most remote corners.
Located about 10 km from Dalaihob town centre, the airport has a 3C flight area with a 2,000-metre runway and a single compact terminal of roughly 480 square metres. It is suited to regional aircraft such as the MA60 and CRJ900 and handles a modest number of domestic flights.
The airport is primarily reached by taxi or pre-arranged private transfer, with the drive to Dalaihob typically taking around 15 to 25 minutes. Scheduled services have connected Ejin Banner with Alxa Left Banner and Xi'an, making the area's famous poplar forests and desert landscapes easier to reach.
Although facilities are limited to a VIP lounge area, a first-class lounge and basic passenger services, the airport's small size keeps walking distances short and the arrival process straightforward. It remains a key air gateway for travelers visiting the Ejina poplar forest, Heicheng and Juyan Lake.
