Yinchuan Hedong Airport (simplified Chinese: 银川河东机场; traditional Chinese: 銀川河東機場; pinyin: Yínchuān Hédōng Jīchǎng) (IATA: INC, ICAO: ZLIC) is an airport in Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China. It is located 25 kilometres (16 mi) southeast of downtown Yinchuan in Linghe Town of Lingwu City.
It is a relatively small airport compared to many airports in China. Nevertheless, it is the autonomous region's main aviation gateway. Its name Hedong means "East of the River" and is literally derived from the fact that the airport is located east of the Yellow River. It is presently connected to over 20 cities by either direct flights, or transferring in Xi'an and Beijing. The terminal building covers a total area of 15,000 sq m (3.7 acres).
The airport currently handles 819,000 passengers a year, although this number is to be increased in the near future, since a new expansion is being considered.
