Urumqi Diwopu International Airport (URC) is the primary international gateway for Xinjiang, serving both long-haul and domestic flights and acting as a regional hub for full-service carriers and several low-cost Chinese airlines.

Pros: reasonably modern facilities and direct regional connections; cons: can feel distant from central Urumqi and transfer options are more limited than at China’s largest hubs.
