Airport HistoryEst. 1999

Nanchang Changbei opened in 1999 to replace the older, capacity-constrained Nanchang Xiangtang Airport that had served the city since 1957. Originally designed for a modest 2 million annual passengers, Changbei underwent a major expansion between 2008 and 2011 that transformed it into a Class 4E international airport capable of handling 12 million passengers a year, and it now serves as Jiangxi province's principal air gateway.

✦Changbei directly replaced Nanchang Xiangtang Airport, which had served the city since 1957 before becoming too small for growing demand.
