Yichang Sanxia International Airport (IATA: YIH, ICAO: ZHYC), opened to traffic on 28 December 1996, is a Class 4D international regional airport located at the junction of Yunchi Subdistrict in Xiaoting District, Yaoqueling Town in Yiling District, and Anfusi Town in Zhijiang City, about 22 km northwest of downtown Yichang in Hubei Province, China.[2]

History

Yichang Sanxia Airport was approved as a national construction project by the State Council and the Central Military Commission on 18 January 1993. Construction officially began in September 1994. The airport passed national completion acceptance in October 1996, and on 28 December 1996 it received its operating license and opened to air traffic.[2] The first flight to take off from the airport was a Boeing 737 bound for Beijing, departing Yichang at 1:36 p.m. on 28 December 1996.[3]

On 24 February 2022, the runway at Yichang Sanxia Airport was extended to 3,200 meters.[4] On 23 June 2022, the airport’s Terminal 2 officially entered service.[5][6] In July 2022, renovation work began on the T1 International Terminal at Sanxia Airport, and the project has now been fully completed. The number of international contact stands increased from one to four, and the floor area of Terminal 1 expanded from 14,800 square meters to 16,500 square meters.[7] On 17 April 2024, Yichang Sanxia Airport was renamed Yichang Sanxia International Airport.[8][9]
