Aeroporto di Zhanjiang (ZHA)
Zhanjiang Wuchuan Airport (IATA: ZHA, ICAO: ZGZJ) serves the vibrant coastal city of Zhanjiang, located in Guangdong Province, China. This airport is a key transportation hub primarily catering to domestic flights, though it has ambitions to expand its routes and potentially attract international services in the future.
Originally opened in 2022, the current facility replaced the old Zhanjiang Airport, which had served the city since the 1950s. The new airport aims to accommodate the growing demand for air travel in the region, driven by Zhanjiang's rapid economic development and increasing tourism appeal. Positioned in the Wuchuan, the airport is strategically located to serve not just Zhanjiang, but also the neighboring cities and regions.
In terms of infrastructure, Zhanjiang Wuchuan Airport is equipped with a modern terminal that can handle approximately 5 million passengers annually. Although still growing, the airport currently sees a considerable number of daily flights operated by major Chinese airlines such as China Southern Airlines and Hainan Airlines, connecting Zhanjiang to key cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
The airport also plays a significant role in regional logistics, facilitating the transport of goods and services that support the local economy. With state-of-the-art facilities and a focus on passenger convenience and safety, Zhanjiang Wuchuan Airport is positioned to become a central gateway for travelers and goods in southern China.
