Operating hoursNot H24; domestic scheduled operations typically run dawn to roughly 2300 local under CAAC slot coordination. No published curfew found in open sources — confirm exact tower hours and PPR requirements with airport operations for late, diverted or charter arrivals.
TerminalsT2 (originally approx. 42,500 sqm, 24 check-in counters, opened September 2020) underwent a Phase II north-terminal extension completed December 31, 2024, bringing total T2 floor area to roughly 55,000 sqm with an estimated 14 boarding bridges and an apron of roughly 38 aircraft parking stands; T2 remains the sole terminal handling scheduled traffic. The original T1 (approx. 10,600 sqm) is retained as backup/overflow. (Post-expansion figures sourced from secondary aggregation rather than a primary AIP/press release; recommend confirming against the operator's own release.)

Airport contact
Domestic-only feeder airport on the Loess Plateau/Mu Us Desert margin; single runway 16/34 with a CAT I ILS on one direction only, so low-visibility capability is limited (no CAT II/III) and dust or sandstorm events can affect approach minima. Traffic has grown fast to 3,106,499 passengers in 2025, supported by the December 2024 T2 north-terminal extension and the 2018 runway extension to 3,200 m (4D classification); the airport is the operating base for Tianjin Airlines, alongside other domestic carriers, on domestic-only routes.

China National Aviation Fuel (CNAF) - Northwest Company
CNAF's Northwest regional subsidiary (航油西北公司/中国航油西北分公司) is documented as the into-plane jet-fuel supplier for 24 civil-aviation airports across Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and Ningxia. As a scheduled-service airport in Shaanxi, Yulin Yuyang sits within CNAF's near-nationwide supply network (CNAF serves 190+ Chinese airports overall), but a Yulin-specific depot or contract reference was not separately located, so this is recorded unconfirmed.

De-icing
Seasonal
Yulin Yuyang Airport Co., Ltd. (榆林机场有限公司)
Airport company performs runway/taxiway and aircraft de-icing and snow-removal during winter weather, per Yulin municipal transport-bureau reporting of a de-icing response after the January 2025 snowfall and an October 2024 Shaanxi regulatory winter-operations inspection that specifically reviewed the airport's "de-icing and snow-removal management" (除冰雪管理). Northern Shaanxi's cold continental winters make this a genuine seasonal requirement.
