Runways (1)
  • 08/26 · 3,400 m / 11,155 ft · 45 m wide · Concrete · ILS ILS
China's busiest single-runway commercial airport and Hainan's number-two gateway after Haikou Meilan, serving the island free-trade port's duty-free tourism boom as a base for Hainan Airlines and China Southern Airlines. Hemmed in by mountains, a high-speed rail line, an expressway, dense urban development and a protected coral-reef marine reserve, the airport has no room to add a second runway, so its 2023-2026 Phase III rebuild added only the new T3 terminal rather than airside capacity. Note: Hainan's planned new international airport (a separate greenfield site near Sanya) is a distinct future project, not a second runway at this Fenghuang/SYX site.
