Airport HistoryEst. 1997

Built to replace the constrained Fuzhou Yixu Airport, Changle International was approved by China's State Council in 1992 and opened in 1997, envisioned partly as a future hub for cross-strait flights to Taiwan. After a financially difficult start, the airport turned around under new management in the early 2000s and has since grown into a significant international gateway for Fujian province.

✦The airport's original master plan was reportedly developed at the request of Xi Jinping, then a Fujian provincial official, with an eye toward eventual direct flights to Taiwan.
✦In 2023 the airport handled about 13.2 million passengers, serving as a hub for both Fuzhou Airlines and XiamenAir.
1997
Airport Opens

Fuzhou Changle International Airport is inaugurated on June 23, replacing the older, more constrained Fuzhou Yixu Airport as the city's main air gateway.

2001
Early Financial Struggles

In its first years of operation the airport faces significant financial difficulties due to insufficient passenger volumes relative to its scale.

2003
Xiamen Airport Group Takes Over Management

Xiamen International Airport Group assumes management control of Fuzhou Changle, marking a turning point in the airport's operational and financial viability.

2005
First Profitable Year

The airport achieves profitability for the first time since opening, following the change in management.

2017
First North American Route

XiamenAir launches the airport's inaugural North American service to New York-JFK using a Boeing 787-9.

2018
Second Intercontinental Route to Paris

A second long-haul route, to Paris-Charles de Gaulle, begins operating in December, extending the airport's global reach.

2019
Major Expansion Approved

China's National Development and Reform Commission approves a major expansion project targeting 36 million annual passengers and 450,000 tonnes of cargo capacity by 2030.

General encyclopedic sources (Wikipedia) and regional government/travel profiles (Fujian Provincial Government, TravelChinaGuide). The claim about the airport's design being tied to a personal request from Xi Jinping is a widely repeated but not independently verified detail, flagged accordingly.
