Qianjiang Wulingshan Airport guide

Qianjiang Wulingshan Airport (ICAO: ZUQJ) is the civil airport for Qianjiang District, in the far southeast of Chongqing Municipality, in the Wuling Mountains near the Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou borders. Its Chinese name is 黔江武陵山机场. It stands in Zhoubai Subdistrict and was first called Qianjiang Zhoubai Airport. It took its present name in November 2011.

The first flight landed on 22 November 2010, after about 600 million yuan of investment. The single concrete runway, designated 03/21, is 2,400 metres long and 45 metres wide. It is built to code 4C for regional jets and narrowbody aircraft. The terminal was designed for 120,000 passengers a year, and traffic has run well above that figure. In 2024 the airport handled 344,538 passengers and 4,701 aircraft movements.

The airport lies about 429 kilometres from the main urban area of Chongqing by road, so air service saves a long mountain drive. Scheduled flights run to Chongqing Jiangbei, Kunming and Shanghai Pudong, and general aviation flights link Wanzhou, Liangping and Yongchuan.
