Airport HistoryEst. 2013

Hefei's Xinqiao airport opened in May 2013 as a purpose-built replacement for the older, more centrally located Hefei Luogang Airport, moving operations roughly 32 kilometers from downtown to accommodate long-term growth. Backed by a 3.7-billion-yuan investment, it briefly hosted Hefei's first-ever direct European route before the airport settled into steady growth as a mid-sized regional hub serving Anhui province.

✦Xinqiao sits about 31.8 kilometers from downtown Hefei, considerably farther out than the older Luogang Airport it replaced.
✦A planned second phase aims to expand capacity to 42 million passengers and 580,000 tons of cargo annually by 2040.
2008
Construction Begins

Construction of the new airport began in December 2008 with a total planned investment of 3.728 billion yuan.

2013
Airport Opens, Replacing Luogang

The airport opened May 30, 2013, replacing Hefei Luogang Airport as the city's primary facility, with an initial 3,400-meter runway and a 108,500-square-meter terminal designed for 11 million annual passengers by 2020.

2013
108,500-Square-Meter Terminal Opens

The new terminal, sized at 108,500 square meters with a single 3,400-meter runway, was designed to accommodate 11 million annual passengers and 150,000 tons of cargo by 2020.

2022
First Direct European Route

German carrier Condor launched direct flights to Frankfurt in December 2022, giving Hefei its first direct European connection, though the route was discontinued after several months.

2025
Continued Steady Traffic

The airport recorded roughly 12.6 million passenger movements in 2025, a modest year-over-year increase, alongside just under 100,000 aircraft takeoffs and landings.

General encyclopedic sources (Wikipedia, CAPA, Airport Technology). The short-lived Condor Frankfurt route (2022-2023) is flagged as a discontinued service rather than an ongoing connection.
