Yushu Batang Airport

Yushu Batang Airport opened in 2009 and is a small but vital high‑altitude gateway to Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, featuring a single passenger terminal and a modest runway suited to regional services. As the main aviation link for this part of Qinghai, it connects travelers to hubs such as Chengdu and Xining and supports tourism to Tibetan cultural sites. Ground access is straightforward with taxis, airport shuttle buses and highway connections into Yushu city, though journeys can take longer at altitude. Flights are mainly operated by Chinese carriers such as Air China and Sichuan Airlines; fares are generally moderate but can be higher than big-city routes during peak season.
