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.

Terminal 3B, opened in 2025 and designed by the late Zaha Hadid's firm, is described as the world's largest standalone satellite terminal building.
The airport connects to central Chongqing via a dedicated monorail line, reflecting the city's extensive monorail transit network built for its hilly terrain.
It replaced Baishiyi Airport, which had served Chongqing since 1938 and played a role during World War II when the city was China's wartime capital.
In May 2022, a Tibet Airlines A319 aborted takeoff and all 122 people on board evacuated safely — an incident noted in the airport's safety record.
