Xishuangbanna Gasa International Airport JHG / ZPJH

Southern Yunnan's international gateway, serving Jinghong and the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture near the Laos and Myanmar borders; CAAC formally approved adding International to the airport's name in May 2023. Single runway 16/34 (2,400m x 45m asphalt, ILS CAT I both ends) handles narrow-body jets almost exclusively; reference code 4D confirmed. Passenger volume reached 7,711,821 in 2025 (+7.7% y/y from 7,163,490), ranking 47th nationally in CAAC's 2025 airport-throughput table (up from 6,934,208 in 2023) — driven mainly by Chinese domestic leisure demand for the region's rainforest/ethnic-tourism draw, plus cross-border links toward Laos and northern Thailand, with seasonal peaks around the Dai New Year Water-Splashing Festival (mid-April) and national holiday weeks. Fuel is supplied as China's domestic 'Jet Fuel No.3' grade, the Jet A-1 equivalent used at CAAC airports. Two corrections made against the draft: the contact phone (+86-691-2159591 in the draft does not match any published number; corrected to the verified general-enquiries line +86-691-2159131) and the AIP field's invented 'eff. 2025-11-15' date (not a valid AIRAC cycle date and unverifiable against the live CAAC eAIP portal from this environment; dropped rather than asserted, matching this dataset's existing house style for China AIP citations). The draft's local downdraft-hazard note (1-2km north of THR16 above 3m/s surface wind on approach to RWY16) is plausible in shape for this terrain but could not be independently verified against primary AIP text, so it is omitted here pending direct AIP confirmation rather than restated as fact. Runway/ILS data cross-verified via independent nav-data plus multiple general aviation-reference sources (SkyVector, OurAirports, flightplandatabase, CAPA, Wikipedia EN/ZH); pax figure independently confirmed via two sources against the CAAC 2025 national ranking bulletin cited in the brief.
