quickFacts:

    CAAC 2025 (English Wikipedia leftover citing the 26 Feb 2026 ranking xlsx):
    **16,125,459** passengers (national **#30**, Huaon leftover **+9.4% /
    +1,392,100**, rank leftover **+2**), **113,483** movements (**#32**, Huaon
    leftover **+4.4% / +4,800**, rank leftover **+3**), **160,124.2 t** cargo
    (**#27**, Huaon leftover **−5.0% / −8,400 t**, rank leftover **−2**). Huaon
    0.01-万人次 rounding leftover **1,612.55 万人次 / 11.35 万架次 / 16.01 万吨**. Huaon
    leftover domestic passengers **15,557,900** (Hong Kong / Macao / Taiwan
    leftover **496,800**) and international **567,600** (**3.52%**). Huaon
    leftover-prints domestic cargo as the **same 16.01 万吨** as the total at
    **70.83%** — leftover-wrong (share leftover would be ~**11.34 万吨**;
    international leftover **4.67 万吨 / 29.17%**; HMT leftover **1.32 万吨**).
    Ningbo Customs leftover **1.071 million** cross-border passengers is the
    intl+HMT band, not a second CAAC total. Do **not** reprint leftover **3.8
    million T1 design capacity** or leftover **12 million T2 design** as current
    traffic.
  - >-
    Live passenger campus on **19 Sep 2026** is **T1 + T2**. **T2 opened 29 Dec
    2019 05:00** (China Ningbo Net leftover 25 Dec 2019; Chinese Wikipedia
    leftover **28 Dec** is the press day). T1 leftover closed the same night,
    trial leftover **1 Aug 2023**, official leftover **22 Dec 2023**. T1
    leftover **~43,500 m²** (nbtour leftover **45,000**). T2 leftover **~104,700
    m²** (nbtour leftover **112,400**). **T3 and a south runway are leftover
    planning, not live** — Zhejiang Airports Group leftover **8 Sep 2026** is a
    concept scheme (**~280,000 m² / 24.5 million** of a leftover **38 million**
    campus). Ningbo West / Lines **6 / 9 / 12** leftover GTC is not live.
  - >-
    Official leftover domestic check-in from **1 Sep 2024**: desks die at **30
    min** (no-bag leftover **25 min** on nbtour). International / Hong Kong /
    Macao / Taiwan leftover **40 min**. T1 leftover **B island** (CZ / HU / MF /
    9C / GX / EU and the rest of that list). T2 leftover **E / F islands** (9C
    Spring / MU / CA / ZH / FM / KN plus **3U / AQ from 28 Jan 2026** on **F**).
    International leftover is **T2 G island**. Read the ticket — codeshare
    leftover follows the operating carrier.
  - >-
    Official leftover **nbairport.com** (浙江省机场集团 / 宁波机场集团). Sunshine hotline
    leftover **0574-81899000**. ICAO **ZSNB**. Do not invent `/airports/zsnb`.

    Live runway **one**: **13/31 3,200 × 45 m** concrete, field class leftover
    **4E** (parallel taxiway leftover **2 Jul 2009**; 3,200 m leftover **16 Feb
    2006**). Elevation leftover **3.7 m / 12 ft** (English leftover **4 m / 13
    ft**). `lib/airports.json` titles **Ningbo Lishe International Airport** at
    **29.826683, 121.461971** — use those. Wikipedia leftover **29.82667,
    121.46194** is the same field. Distance leftover **~12 km** southwest of
    urban Ningbo (Haishu / Shiqí).
  - >-
    **240-hour TWOV IS at NGB.** Zhejiang is on the 24-province stay map; the
    Canada-embassy leftover port list names **宁波栎社国际机场口岸** next to HGH / WNZ /
    YIW. NIA leftover **20 Aug 2026** is **57** countries / **65** ports —
    Ningbo border-inspection leftover the same day still said **55**. **24-hour
    TWOV IS** (nationwide open ports). **24-hour skip-immigration is NOT**
    (original nine leftover is PEK / PKX / PVG / **HGH** / XMN / CAN / SZX / TFU
    / XIY; add-on ten leftover is TSN / DLC / NKG / FOC / TAO / WUH / NNG / HAK
    / CKG / KMG). Clock leftover for 24-hour TWOV is airside unless you take a
    temporary-entry stamp.
bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: Treat 30 minutes as the published domestic close
    detail: >-
      That is five minutes looser than Changchun’s 35-minute close and in line
      with FOC / TSN. Gate leftover is not published airport-wide — do not copy
      a 15-minute gate close from another Zhejiang field.
    summary: >-
      Zhejiang Airports Group leftover from 1 Sep 2024: every domestic desk dies
      at 30 minutes (nbtour leftover 25 minutes with no bag). International
      leftover still 40 minutes.

  - label: Terminals
    title: Metro is under T2; T1 is a 160 m landside walk
    detail: >-
      3U and AQ leftover moved to T2 F island on 28 Jan 2026. A leftover
      T1-as-international floor plan is leftover-wrong — G island is T2.
    summary: >-
      Line 2 栎社国际机场站 sits in the T2 GTC. International / Spring / MU / CA live
      in T2. T1 is the CZ / HU / MF domestic hall plus a landside connector.

    title: Walk T2 陈香贵 or 克茗冰室; T1 is 王升大

      FlyerT leftover still wants T2 for a hot meal. Empty the bottle at
      security, then buy on the far side.
    summary: >-
      Named DragonPass kitchens leftover T2 陈香贵 / 德克士 / 王元兴 / 克茗冰室 and T1
      王升大&半岛名轩. No official fountain map.

  - label: Visa
    title: '240-hour TWOV yes — skip-immigration is Hangzhou, not here'
    detail: >-
      Ningbo border leftover 20 Aug 2026 still printed 55 countries; NIA
      leftover the same day is 57. Hainan 30-day visa-free is a different
      province.
    summary: >-
      NGB is a named 240-hour port with Zhejiang-wide stay. 24-hour airside TWOV
      also applies. The 24-hour skip-immigration product is HGH, not NGB.

# Ningbo Lishe International Airport (NGB)
Ningbo, China · Asia-Pacific
Ningbo’s only real international airport buys you Line 2 under T2 — paid for with a two-hall split, a 22:20 last metro, numbered CIP rooms, and a visa stack that is 240-hour TWOV, not Hangzhou’s skip-immigration product.
## Airportist Score

**7.3 / 10**
Weighted sum of the six published categories (no holistic fudge).
- Ease of use (25%): 7.4 — Wayfinding, security wait, and layout.
- Comfort & amenities (20%): 7.2 — Seating, Wi-Fi, cleanliness, and quiet.
- Food & retail (15%): 7.0 — Food and retail quality and variety.
- Ground access (15%): 8.6 — Transit, taxi, and parking to the city.
- Reliability (15%): 6.6 — Delays, cancellations, and weather resilience.
- Lounges (10%): 7.2 — Worth-it density and access quality.

## At a glance

- Passengers: 16,125,459 (CAAC 2025)
- Terminals: T1 domestic B-island + T2 E/F domestic and G international (Line 2 under T2; T3/south runway not live)
- Typical security: 15 min
- On-time: 0%
- Disruption: minor

## Best for

- Line 2 from T2 (¥4–6 / ~20–25 min to Ningbo Railway Station)
- International passengers using the T2 PP room 30 m after security
- 240-hour TWOV stays in Zhejiang
- Spring / MU / CA passengers who stay in T2

## Watch out for

- T1 is not on the metro platform — walk the ~160 m landside connector
- Last metro from the airport is 22:20; English leftover free bus is leftover-wrong
- 24-hour skip-immigration is HGH, not NGB
- 3U / AQ leftover sit on T2 F from 28 Jan 2026 — a leftover T1-as-Sichuan map is leftover-wrong
