AIP referenceZSYT — AIP China / CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China), AD 2 ZSYT
Operating hoursH24 - airport operations, ATC (ATIS/APP/TWR/GND), customs and immigration, health/quarantine, MET service, fuelling, ground handling and security are reported as H24 with no curfew or PPR; could not independently pull the current AIP China ZSYT AD 2.3 chart to verify the exact published cycle, so treat the operating-hours detail as secondary-sourced rather than a confirmed primary AIP read
TerminalsTwo terminals: T1 (~96,000 sqm, opened 28 May 2015 when operations relocated to the new Penglai site, 39 gates, rated capacity 10M pax/yr, largely superseded for scheduled passenger traffic since T2 opened) and T2 (~270,000 sqm, Aedas-led design with CSWADI and New Era Airport Design Institute, sweeping roof referencing Yantai's Kunyu Mountain, opened 28 June 2024, 83 gates, rated design capacity 23M pax/yr and 200,000t cargo/yr)

Airport contact
Yantai's principal air gateway and a designated node in the China-Japan-Korea regional air-cargo corridor; China Eastern and Shandong Airlines are the largest carriers, with international service to destinations including Seoul Incheon, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Taipei alongside dense domestic trunk routes. The June 2024 opening of the Aedas-led Terminal 2 lifted rated capacity to 23M pax/yr; the airport still operates a SINGLE runway (05/23, ILS CAT I both ends) — a second runway and a third terminal pier are publicly stated by the operator as future development but had not broken ground as of the latest available reporting. Actual 2025 traffic (8.04M pax per CAAC's national airport production bulletin) remains well below the 2019 pre-pandemic peak (10.05M) and far under the new terminal's design ceiling.

De-icing
Seasonal
Shandong Airport Management Group Yantai International Airport Co., Ltd. (山东省机场管理集团烟台国际机场有限公司)
Winter aircraft de/anti-icing is a standard self-provided function at Chinese coastal-Shandong-Peninsula airports in this climate zone, which sees regular sub-zero winter temperatures and snowfall; airport-specific de-icing pad/fluid-mixing facility documentation was not independently located (unlike sister field Qingdao/TAO, where such documentation was found), so this is treated as the operator's presumed in-house winter-ops function pending primary-source confirmation. · seasonal, winter months
