AIP referenceZBYN — AIP China (CAAC), AD 2.ZBYN
Operating hoursH24 — aerodrome, ATS, customs/immigration, fuelling, ground handling and security all operate round the clock per AIP. Runway configuration is in transition: a new parallel runway (13R/31L) was commissioned 25 Dec 2025, and the original runway (13L/31R) was closed the same day for a resurfacing/refurbishment program widely reported at roughly 2 years — until it reopens, traffic is concentrated on the single active 13R/31L runway. The specific reopening date and an end-2027 target for full dual-runway operation are industry reporting, not independently confirmed.
Terminals2 operational passenger terminals — T1 (~26,500 sqm, reopened Jan 2014, regional/LCC traffic) and T2 (~55,000 sqm, opened Sep 2008, main hub terminal handling most international and domestic hub traffic, 18 boarding bridges). A third terminal, T3 (~400,000 sqm), was approved by the NDRC in Sept 2021 as part of a broader Phase III expansion targeting roughly 40M pax/yr; it remains under construction with no confirmed opening date — reports of a mid-2026 structural topping-out could not be independently verified. Airport reportedly borders the Taiyuan Wusu Comprehensive Bonded Zone.

Airport contact
Shanxi province's largest and principal international gateway, rated ICAO 4E (can handle A380) and reportedly designated an alternate/backup airport for Beijing's hubs. China Eastern Airlines' Shanxi branch is the dominant carrier and focus base; Hainan Airlines and Kunming Airlines also base aircraft here. The airport commissioned a new parallel runway (13R/31L) on 25 Dec 2025 and is now operating principally off it while the original runway (13L/31R) undergoes a resurfacing program reported at roughly 2 years — plan for reduced runway redundancy in the interim, though the exact reopening timeline is unconfirmed. A large new terminal (T3, ~400,000 sqm, ~40M pax/yr design capacity) remains under construction and not yet operational.
