Operating hoursNo published H24 civil operation; flight activity tracks the scheduled domestic airline bank (~70 movements/day in 2025, from 25,638 annual operations). As an active dual-use military/civil airfield, general-aviation and business-jet operators should coordinate PPR and slots with the airport authority well in advance, standard practice at China's joint-use fields.
TerminalsTwo terminals on a single Code-4C airfield: T1 (~4,000 sqm, opened with the airport's Feb 2015 civil reopening; slated under a 2018 expansion plan for eventual conversion into an international-capable hall, but no scheduled international service has materialized) and T2 (~16,300 sqm, opened 28 Aug 2019, bougainvillea-themed terminal), together offering 8 Code-C aircraft stands.

Airport contact
A fast-growing domestic-only feeder/overflow field for the congested Shenzhen-Dongguan corridor (2025 CAAC bulletin: rank 59 nationally, 3,365,186 passengers, +17.0% y/y). Reachable via dedicated intercity shuttle coaches into Shenzhen's Longgang (opened 2025) and Pingshan (opened 2026) districts and Dongguan's Songshan Lake, plus a Huiyang/Daya Bay line within Huizhou itself, which functionally extend the field's catchment into the Greater Bay Area's slot-constrained core. Its single 2,400 m runway restricts operations to A320/B737-class narrowbodies; the T1 hall's 2018-era 'international terminal' redesignation has not yet been matched by any scheduled international or regional route -- as of this research the network is entirely domestic (52 routes to 43 destinations in 41 cities, 2025). Growth has consistently outpaced planned capacity since reopening in 2015, driving the T2 build and a longer-range (unbuilt as of 2026) Phase 2 plan for a 1,000 m eastward runway extension plus a new ~100,000 sqm terminal on the runway's south side.

Guangdong Airport Group Huizhou Airport Company (广东省机场管理集团有限公司惠州机场分公司)
Huizhou Pingtan Airport is owned and operated by Guangdong Airport Group's Huizhou Airport branch (confirmed via Chinese and English Wikipedia and the airport group's own site, gdairport.com); no independent third-party ground handling agent could be identified for this regional airport. A 2024 recruitment posting (Sohu) for airport-direct-hire flight ground-support staff (航班地面保障员) corroborates an in-house handling model, consistent with Guangdong Airport Group's other non-hub regional stations, but no dedicated ground-handling-services statement was found.

China Aviation Oil Supply Corporation Zhuhai Branch (中国航空油料有限责任公司珠海分公司)
Corrects the draft's unsourced 'Guangdong' entity: the documented into-plane fuel supplier at Huizhou Pingtan Airport is the Zhuhai Branch of China Aviation Oil Supply Corporation (est. 2009, a CNAF/China National Aviation Fuel subsidiary), operating on-site through its Huizhou Supply Station (惠州供应站), approved and established December 2014 and operational since the airport's 2015 relaunch. Multiple HUZ-specific China Civil Aviation News (中国民航网) and Sina Finance articles from 2024-2025 report on the station by name, including a Feb 2025 piece marking its 10th consecutive safe-operation-year anniversary and a Dec 2025 piece reporting a record annual refuelling volume over 60,000 tonnes and near 100,000 flights served since opening.

Guangdong Airport Group Huizhou Airport Company (广东省机场管理集团有限公司惠州机场分公司)
Airport operates its own cargo terminal (航空货运站), confirmed via Baidu Baike sourcing: opened November 2018, located west of the T1 terminal, building area 1,800 sqm, split into separate domestic-arrivals and domestic-departures cargo bays with two cargo security-screening lanes, sized for approximately 20,000 tonnes of annual cargo/mail throughput. No separate named cargo-terminal operator was found (corrects the draft's unsourced 2,000-3,000 sqm estimate), consistent with in-house operation by the airport company.

Airport-operated free inter-city shuttle-bus network confirmed via multiple 2025-2026 Chinese news sources (Sohu, Tencent News, Huizhou Bendibao, Shenzhen Bendibao): free coach lines connect the T2 arrivals hall directly with city check-in halls in Shenzhen Longgang, Dongguan Songshan Lake, Heyuan and Shanwei, plus a fifth line to Shenzhen Pingshan opened 17 Aug 2026 (about 70 minutes, 16 round trips/day) — all free to any passenger on a same-day boarding pass for a Huizhou Pingtan flight. The specific bus-operating subcontractor for these inter-city lines is not named in sources found; separate local Huizhou-area routes are run by named carriers Zhitong Transport (志通运输), Taihu Public Transport (太湖公交) and Jintong Bus (金通巴士).
