Airport contact
Anhui province's sole international gateway and a base airport for China Eastern Airlines and West Air (operating base since mid-2022), plus a wide roster of domestic carriers. Current international/regional passenger routes (2026) include Seoul/Incheon, Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi & Don Mueang), Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Macau, Phuket, Taipei/Taoyuan, Hanoi and Nha Trang, plus a growing slate of long-haul all-cargo routes (Chicago, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Dubai, Prague, Tbilisi). COMAC C909 entered scheduled passenger service here in 2025 and C919 in April 2026 (Hefei was its 23rd commercial city). Currently a single-runway, single-terminal operation running near capacity ahead of the much larger T2 terminal (construction/handover targeted ~June 2026), designed to support 40M pax/yr by 2030 — but the second runway once envisioned alongside T2 has been paused pending annual passengers reaching 15M (not yet cleared by China's NDRC as of mid-2026), so T2's flights will keep using the existing single runway when it opens, lengthening ground-taxi distances.
