Hohhot Baita International Airport (IATA: HET, ICAO: ZBHH) is an international airport serving Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia, China. It is the largest airport in Inner Mongolia and lies 14.3 km (8.9 mi) east of downtown Hohhot. Its name Baita, meaning White Pagoda, derives from Wanbu Huayanjing Pagoda; one of the historical attractions in Hohhot which lies 5.6 km (3.5 mi) south-east of the airport. In 2025 it served 12,722,692 passengers.[2]

History

Hohhot Baita Airport was opened on 1 October 1958. When it first opened to air traffic, it had only one dirt runway, three single‑story buildings, and five tents. The taxiway and apron were simple, and the runway measured 1,500 meters in length and 100 meters in width.[3]

In the mid-1980s and 1990s, it underwent two expansions and in June 2007 a new terminal was constructed. The new terminal covers an area of 54,499 square metres (586,620 sq ft) with 11 parking jetways and is capable of handling three million passengers each year.[4] Its runway was also lengthened and its widened to accommodate jumbo jets such as the Airbus A380. It served as one of the diversion airports for air traffic during the 2008 Summer Olympics.[5][6]

With the rapid expansion of the city, Baita Airport is now surrounded by urban area and has no more room to expand to accommodate growing traffic. The Hohhot Shengle International Airport is being constructed in Horinger County which will replace Baita Airport and Baita is set to be closed once the new airport opened.[7]

In 2025, Hohhot Baita International Airport plans to operate 139 routes, serving 92 cities in total, including 83 nonstop destinations and 6 international or regional cities.[8]
