Libo Guizhou, China:


Libo County is a county of Guizhou, China. It is under the administration of the Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture.The county is located in the remote southeastern corner of the prefecture, on the border with Guangxi. Two local karst sites, Xiaoqikong and Dongduo, form part of the multi-site South China Karst UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed in 2007.The Qiannan/Libo Airport, opened in late 2007, has capacity to receive planes of the Boeing 737 class, and to handle up to 220,000 passengers annually.However, the $57-million facility is rather underutilized so far.According to the CAAC statistics, merely 151 paying passengers flew into or out of the airport in 2009 - which was a 98% drop compared to the previous year, and placed the airport the last in list of the nation's 166 airports by traffic volume.According to a Los Angeles Times reporter who visited the airport, the facility is presently served only by twice-a-week flight to the provincial capital, Guiyang.
