Hohhot’s main civil airport is Baita International Airport (HET), the city’s primary domestic gateway with a handful of international links rather than a major long‑haul hub. It’s typically served by China’s main carriers—Air China, China Eastern, China Southern, Hainan—and a mix of regional and budget operators on busy domestic sectors. The airport sits roughly 12–16 km from downtown Hohhot, usually a 20–40 minute drive depending on traffic. Ground options include taxis and ride‑hailing (often CNY 30–70), airport shuttle and local buses (generally cheaper, around CNY 10–25) with modest journey times. Pros: compact layout and frequent domestic connections; cons: limited international routes and can be congested at peak times.

Chelyabinsk Airport (CEK), sometimes called Balandino, is the region’s primary airfield located roughly 18–20 km from the city center and typically acts as a regional hub with some international and seasonal services. Flights are usually dominated by Russian carriers such as Aeroflot, S7 and Ural Airlines, with low-cost options appearing on popular routes, so fares can range from budget to mid‑range depending on the season. Ground links include regular buses and minibuses that commonly take 30–50 minutes (low fares), while taxis or ride‑hailing trips normally take 20–40 minutes and can cost a few hundred to around a thousand rubles. The airport is compact and usually easy to navigate, offering quick procedures, but it can have limited onward connections and fewer premium amenities than larger international hubs.
