Airport contact
Serves the Chaoshan region (Shantou, Chaozhou, Jieyang) in eastern Guangdong; replaced Shantou Waisha Airport (now a military-only airfield) when it opened Dec 15, 2011. A China Southern and China Eastern focus city, and described as China's largest operating base for the domestic ARJ21/C909 regional jet (34% of movements, Jan-Aug 2025). Crossed 10 million annual passengers for the first time in 2025 (10,228,556, +18.9% YoY per CAAC's official 2025 production-statistics bulletin), up from 8,665,819 in 2024 — reported in Chinese aviation press as making Guangdong the first Chinese province with four airports above the 10-million mark (alongside Guangzhou Baiyun, Shenzhen Bao'an and Zhuhai Jinwan, all separately verified in this dataset at 2025 pax above 10M). Single 3,200m runway, code 4E since a Dec 2019 extension from 2,800m, with the 2022-expanded terminal; international service currently limited to a handful of Southeast Asian routes (Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi via China Southern, Kuala Lumpur via AirAsia).

广东省机场管理集团有限公司揭阳潮汕机场公司 (Guangdong Airport Management Group - Jieyang Chaoshan Airport Company)
Self-operated ramp/turnaround ground-support team ('保障团队') runs check-in, technical dispatch, special vehicles and baggage/cargo loading ('值机、机务、特车、装卸') for based and visiting carriers (China Southern, Air China, China Eastern, Chengdu Airlines, China Express) on scheduled C909 and other services, including jet bridges adapted for the C909 type. Independently corroborated: multiple Chinese aviation-press reports (including Xinhua Finance/新浪财经 and China Civil Aviation News/中国民航报 coverage) confirm the airport hosts China's first C909-type ground-support training base ('全国首个C909机型地面保障实训基地在揭阳潮汕机场正式揭牌'), consistent with the airport running its own scheduled-service ramp team rather than an outside handler; airport company also directly recruits ramp/ground staff under its own name.com.cn, 6 May 2026; corroborating C909 ground-support-training-base press coverage; airport-company hiring listing via aiqicha.baidu.com.

华南蓝天航空油料（广东）有限公司揭阳分公司 (South China Blue Sky Aviation Fuel (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., Jieyang Branch)
Registered branch (established 9 Dec 2013) located inside the airport's own fuel-depot compound. Independently confirmed via corporate-registry search: the branch's stated business scope explicitly names 'jet-fuel injection service for Jieyang Chaoshan Airport' ('揭阳潮汕机场航空煤油加注'), alongside general civil-aviation fuel storage/transport/refuelling ('民用航空油料储运及加注(含抽取)服务') — stronger, more specific confirmation than a group-level claim. Parent joint-venture 华南蓝天航空油料有限公司 supplies jet fuel across Guangdong/Guangxi/Hunan/Hubei. The airport's fuel-depot renovation/expansion project (reported 2026) is tagged to China Aviation Oil Group (中国航油), consistent with the CNAF-linked Blue Sky joint-venture network supplying into-plane fuel at this field.baidu.com and qcc.com; sohu.com project report, 14 Mar 2026.

Airport company's published turnaround workflow for C909 operations explicitly includes technical/line dispatch ('机务') alongside check-in, GSE and loading, run by its own ground team — consistent with the airport's independently-corroborated role as China's first C909 ground-support training base; whether this extends to full transit defect-rectification or is limited to coordinating airline-provided engineers is unconfirmed.
