Airport contact
CAAC's 2025 bulletin ranks Ordos Ejin Horo 62nd nationally with 3,201,398 passengers (+5.5% YoY), corroborated by the airport's own 2025 traffic release (38,370 movements, 13,367.8 t cargo) and by both English- and Chinese-language Wikipedia. Runway 13/31 width is confirmed at 45m (SkyVector, ourairports.com and both Wikipedias agree) — a prior note citing 60m from Wikipedia could not be reproduced on either language edition and appears to have been mistaken. No ILS category could be sourced for either threshold, so ils is left null pending a current primary AIP/Jeppesen chart. Elevation of 4,593 ft (1,399.9m, rounded 1,400m) is corroborated by Chinese Wikipedia's infobox, resolving a discrepancy against a lower crowd-sourced figure elsewhere. The operator is a subsidiary of Inner Mongolia Airport Group (the same provincial group that also runs Hohhot Baita/HET) — a prior claim that Ordos is 'the only locally-funded, independently managed airport in Inner Mongolia' could not be corroborated in any source and conflicts with this subsidiary relationship, so it has been dropped. The AIP entry's FIR reference has also been corrected: Ordos falls under Beijing FIR (China's 'ZB' ICAO-prefix region), not a distinct 'Hohhot FIR', which does not exist.

Ground handling

Ordos Airport Management Group Co., Ltd. (鄂尔多斯机场管理集团有限公司)
Standard passenger check-in, security screening, baggage handling and terminal turnaround services for all scheduled carriers are run directly by the airport company via its own service-guide channels (值机服务/安检服务/行李服务 on ordosairport.com); no separate third-party ramp-handling contractor is named, so this is airport self-provided handling for general/economy traffic. Confirmed on the airport's own cargo page: 6 scheduled carriers operate at Ordos (国航/中联航/南航/东航/天航/川航), of which 2 hold operating bases here (unnamed which two).
