This is a list of public airports in the People's Republic of China grouped by provincial level division and sorted by main city or county served. It includes civil airports and certified general airports,[1] but excludes filed general airports, defunct airports and military air bases.
The names mentioned in the table are officially named by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), even though some of the spellings are confusing.[2] The Aerodrome Reference Code (ARC) was officially stated by "License for Civil/General Airport". The characters between international airport and national airport were published by General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC).[3]
As of 10 January 2024[update], there were 259 certified civil airports and 106 certified general airports.[4][5] As of 30 May 2023[update], the State Council of the People's Republic of China established 83 aviation ports (involving 86 airports), and the CAAC approved 63 airports to rename "International Airport" among them.[3][6] This figure includes airports governed by the CAAC and it does not include the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau (or the area administered by Taiwan).[4] Both Hong Kong and Macau have their own civil aviation regulators (the Civil Aviation Department and the Civil Aviation Authority respectively).
