Location

Burang Town, China

Ali Pulan Airport (IATA: APJ, ICAO: ZUPL) is a small regional airport serving Burang Town in the Ngari Prefecture of the Tibet Autonomous Region, China.

The airport supports limited scheduled regional services, primarily connecting Burang with larger Tibetan and Chinese cities. Given the extreme remoteness of the area and the rugged terrain, air travel represents a critical link for residents and occasional visitors to this frontier region.
