Huhhot Baita Airport is located in the same region -- North China -- with Beijing Capital Airport, and is loosely connected with Beijing Capital's weather, which enables it to be an alternate airport for Beijing Capital. Flights numbers in Huhhot Airport has jumped from 25.4 thousand in 2007, the year in which extension work of airfield area is completed, to 81.8 thousand in 2016. The rapid growth leads to an insufficiency in parking bays, which brings stress to Huhhot Baita as an alternate airport and to the operation of itself.

Currently there are one runway, one smooth runway, 43 parking bays and 4 taxiways in the airfield area.

After reconstruction and extension, a 0.21 million-square-meters tarmac and an E taxiway would be built, and 20 parking bays(1 F, 5 E, and 14 C) would be added.
