AIP referenceZYTL — AIP China (CAAC), AD 2.ZYTL
Operating hoursH24 — ATC (Tower, Ground, Approach, ATIS) and emergency frequency operate continuously per AIP China; other airport services (customs, immigration, fuelling, handling) are published as HS or on-request outside normal hours; no published curfew. The airport ended joint civil-military use in stages (July 2022 / effective 18 May 2023 per CAAC NAIP amendment), and is now classified as a purely civil aerodrome.
TerminalsThree connected terminals: T1 (~24,000 sqm, opened September 1993, regional/low-cost carriers), T2 (~42,000 sqm, opened 17 May 2005, mainly domestic) and T3 (~70,000 sqm, opened 9 September 2011, main international/domestic hub terminal). These three figures (summing to ~136,000 sqm) are a 2017 baseline; the most recently published combined terminal floor area (Baidu Baike, Oct 2025) is ~152,000 sqm, reflecting subsequent renovation/expansion not yet broken out by individual terminal.
Runways (1)
- 10/28 · 3,300 m / 10,827 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS ILS CAT I both ends (RWY10 LOC/GP ident IZF, 109.1 MHz; RWY28 LOC/GP ident IKD, 111.1 MHz). RWY10's ILS approach carries a charted ~3° localizer offset from the runway centerline together with a slightly steeper ~3.3° glidepath, well documented in pilot/simulation community references to the Jeppesen chart; consistent with a terrain/obstacle constraint on the approach path.
Airport contact
Northeast China's second-busiest airport after Shenyang Taoxian (~24.9M pax in 2025 vs. DLC's ~19.8M), and the principal international/regional gateway for Dalian; hub for Dalian Airlines and a major operating base for China Southern, Hainan Airlines, Spring Airlines and China Express. Its single runway (10/28, ILS CAT I both ends) is operating near capacity, and construction of a full replacement airport, Dalian Jinzhouwan International Airport — built on China's first offshore artificial-island airport site, with two parallel runways (3,600 m and 3,400 m planned for Phase 1) and a planned 500,000 sqm T1 — saw its terminal main-structure works begin in late September 2025 (just before National Day), per CAAC/state-media reporting; it is intended to eventually take over Zhoushuizi's traffic.

Aircraft fuel
Available
China National Aviation Fuel (CNAF) Group Dalian Petroleum Co., Ltd.
Independently confirmed as the company operating apron (机坪) aircraft fueling at Dalian - a CNAF Group subsidiary based at 148 Yingke Road, Ganjingzi District (address confirmed), matching the company's own equipment-procurement notices (zc.cnaf.com) referencing apron fuelling-machine purchases for this airport. Exclusivity ('sole' into-plane supplier) is inferred from CNAF's typical monopoly position at Chinese domestic airports rather than from a direct exclusivity statement, so treat that specific point as reasonably likely but not independently document-confirmed.
