Yiwu Airport (YIW) serves as a regional gateway for the city and the surrounding Zhejiang trade areas, typically handling domestic flights and some short-haul connections rather than being a major international hub. Airlines operating here are usually Chinese carriers and low-cost or regional operators, so fares can often be competitive for domestic routes. The airport sits roughly 10–15 km from Yiwu city center; taxis and app-based ride services normally take about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually in a modest range, and shared shuttles or local buses offer budget options that take slightly longer. Pros: convenient for trade visitors and relatively quick transfers to the city. Cons: limited long-haul connectivity and fewer premium amenities compared with larger hubs.

Urumqi is served primarily by Urumqi Diwopu International Airport (URC), the region’s main international and domestic gateway. It typically functions as a major hub for China’s western routes, with a strong presence of national carriers and several regional airlines operating both full-service and budget connections. The airport is about 16–20 km northeast of Urumqi city center; road transfer by taxi or airport shuttle usually takes 25–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly ranging from modest fixed shuttle charges to taxi fares that can vary by meter. Rail links are limited, so most travelers rely on coach or private car services. Pros: comprehensive facilities and good route coverage for Xinjiang; Cons: distance from downtown can add transfer time and peak-hour congestion may affect comfort.
