Airport contact
Xiamen Gaoqi is XiamenAir's principal hub and a major operating base for China Southern, China Eastern and Spring Airlines, serving as the primary international/regional gateway for southeastern Fujian with strong links to Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. It is China's busiest single-runway airport (2025: 29.19M pax, a national single-runway record) and is expected to cease civil operations once the new Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport opens, targeted for late 2026 (2026-12-24 per current planning, though large infrastructure openings in China have a track record of slipping).
