Kashgar Airport (Kashi Airport) KHGZWSH

Kashgar Laining International Airport (KHG), still often called Kashi/Kashgar Airport, is the key air gateway for southern Xinjiang and sits about 9 km from central Kashgar. It is not a major global transfer hub, but it has China Southern operating-base status and sees a mix of China Southern, Air China, China Eastern and other domestic/regional services, with Urumqi and major mainland cities forming the backbone of connectivity. International status matters operationally because KHG is an open air port, but scheduled cross-border or Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan services are limited and can be seasonal or changeable, so verify the live airline, terminal and immigration setup before travel.
