Airport contact
Southwest China's primary international gateway and China Eastern's Yunnan hub (via Kunming Airlines), also a base for Lucky Air, Ruili Airlines, Sichuan Airlines and China Southern's Yunnan branch, with strong Southeast/South Asia connectivity. The airfield still operates on its original two runways (03/21 and 04/22, opened 2012) today; a second east runway and second west runway (both 4F) are under construction alongside the T2 terminal expansion, targeted for completion around 2028, so runway and T1/S1 gate/stand capacity remain constrained at peak times until then.
