Airport HistoryEst. 2000
Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport opened on 30 December 2000, replacing the older dual civil-military Jianqiao Airport that had become too constrained to expand. It was formally designated an international airport in March 2004 once customs and immigration facilities were completed, and grew rapidly through successive terminal expansions to become one of mainland China's busiest hubs and a base for Air China, China Eastern, China Southern, Hainan Airlines, Xiamen Airlines and low-cost carrier Loong Air. The airport welcomed world leaders in September 2016 when Hangzhou hosted the G20 summit.
Phase I construction, begun in July 1997, is completed and the airport opens for traffic on 30 December 2000.
