List of defunct airports in China

Beijing Nanyuan Airport was China's oldest airport, operating between 1910 and 2019, before having all civil operations transferred to the newly built Beijing Daxing International Airport.

In recent decades, China has experienced a drastic increase in demand for civil flight operations, becoming the fastest-growing passenger air market in the world.[1] As a result, many of China's existing airport infrastructures were not sufficient to cope with the increased demands. As a result, larger and modern new airports are being constantly built to cope with the increased demand. As more modern airports are built, many existing airports are shut down for civilian use; however, many still operate as military airbases or for other purposes.[2]

The following is a list of former civil airports in China. The opening and closing dates refer to the time during which civil operations were present. Some airports may have been operating for non-civil use outside these dates. For example, Shenyang Dongta Airport was established in April 1921; however, civilian operations did not commence until 1950.[3]
