Airport History

Chengdu Tianfu was developed to expand the aviation capacity of the Chengdu region and relieve pressure on the city’s earlier airport system. It was planned as a new major airport to support long-term passenger growth and wider network development in western China.

The airport opened in 2021 and began commercial operations as a key addition to Chengdu’s air transport infrastructure. Its opening marked a significant step in the city’s evolution into a larger multi-airport aviation market.

Since opening, the airport has been built out as a major hub with modern terminal facilities and a runway system capable of supporting extensive domestic and international service. Its development has been closely tied to Chengdu’s role as a central aviation market in inland China.

As traffic has grown, the airport has taken on an increasing share of the region’s route network and transfer activity. Its current role reflects both the city’s expanding passenger demand and the strategic importance of Chengdu in China’s airline network.
