Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport guide

Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport serves the capital of Shandong province from a site in Licheng District, north-east of the city. It opened on 26 July 1992 and replaced Zhangzhuang Airport. The airfield was extended in 2000 and the current terminal opened in March 2005. The airport takes its name from the Yaoqiang subdistrict beside it.

It handled 20.3 million passengers and 145,034 aircraft movements in 2025. Shandong Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and GX Airlines all have a hub here. The airport has one runway, 3,601 metres long, which is rated 4E.

The terminal complex has about 114,000 square metres of floor space and 24 boarding bridges. A south concourse of 29,400 square metres opened in December 2015. A second phase of expansion is under construction. It adds a second terminal of about 600,000 square metres and two 3,600-metre runways on the west side of the airfield. Until it opens, Terminal 1 and its south concourse handle all passenger flights.
