Airport HistoryEst. 1990
Chongqing Jiangbei opened on January 22, 1990, replacing the older Baishiyi Airport as the primary gateway for the mountainous Chongqing municipality in southwest China. It has expanded through several major phases — most notably Terminal 3A and a third runway in 2017, and the Zaha Hadid-designed Terminal 3B satellite hall in 2025 — as Chongqing pursues status as China's fourth major aviation hub after Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. The airport is operated by the state-owned Chongqing Airport Group and connects to the city center via a dedicated monorail rapid transit line. It now handles close to 50 million passengers annually.
