Nanchang Changbei International Airport KHN / ZSCN

Jiangxi province's principal international gateway and by far its largest hub, serving as home base for China Eastern's Jiangxi branch, Xiamen Airlines, and hometown carrier Jiangxi Airlines/Jiangxi Air (a joint venture 60% owned by Xiamen Airlines and 40% by state-owned Jiangxi Aviation Investment Co., founded 2014, commercial service launched January 2016 — not a China Eastern venture). Traffic crossed 11.9 million passengers in 2025 (+5.9% y/y) and a new T2 Pier C opened in January 2025 (after a December 2024 trial run) to relieve capacity. A Phase III expansion — feasibility report approved by the national NDRC in February 2023, with the air-traffic-control sub-project's design and ¥435M budget approved July 2024 — was reported still 'steadily advancing' as of February 2025 and is understood to include a second runway and added terminal capacity, but the specific runway length, target completion year, and passenger-capacity target could not be independently verified from current sources, so airlines should expect the airfield layout and gate count to keep changing through the rest of this decade.
