Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport guide

Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport opened on 30 December 2000 in the Xiaoshan district of Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, replacing the city's older in-town airfield. It has grown steadily since, adding capacity in stages until it ranked among the busiest airports in eastern China.

The airport operates two parallel east-west runways spaced just under two kilometres apart, both long enough for wide-body aircraft on international and domestic routes. Cargo handling is a significant part of operations, supporting the manufacturing and export trade based in Zhejiang province. The newest terminal, opened in September 2022, uses a lotus-flower design with a large central atrium and was built to handle 50 million passengers a year on its own.

A metro line and direct bus routes connect the airport to downtown Hangzhou, and national and regional carriers operate scheduled domestic and international routes from Xiaoshan, making it the primary air gateway for the Yangtze River Delta region south of Shanghai.
