Hefei may not be as well known as Beijing or Shanghai, but in recent years it has transformed into a major hub for science and high-tech innovation in China.

Technology leaders like NIO, a pioneer in electric vehicles, and BOE, one of the world’s top display manufacturers, are both based here.

Currently, Hefei Xinqiao International Airport operates with one terminal.
A brand-new second terminal is under construction and is expected to open in 2026.

In this video, we’ll walk you through the arrival and driver pickup process for domestic flights at the existing terminal.

After landing, exit the aircraft via the jet bridge and follow the signs to Baggage Claim if you have checked luggage.
Hefei Xinqiao’s current terminal has only two levels, which makes the arrival process simple and efficient.

Once you collect your bags, there are two common pickup options.

The first option is to have your driver meet you at the arrival exit, then guide you to the parking area to board the car.

The second, and often faster option, is to go upstairs to the departure level on the second floor.
By meeting your driver there, you can avoid the parking lot altogether and get on the road more quickly.
