History

Diqing Shangri-La Airport was formerly known as Diqing Zhongdian Airport.[5] The airport is located in Lazanba, 5.4 km southwest of Shangri-La County, at an altitude of 3287.8 meters. It is a high-altitude branch airport in Yunnan.[6]

Construction of the airport began on January 4, 1998.[6] On April 30, 1999, a Yunnan Airlines Boeing 737-700 passenger plane landed at Diqing Zhongdian Airport, marking the airport's official operation.[7]

On August 26, 2002, Diqing Zhongdian Airport was renamed Diqing Shangri-La Airport.[5][8]

In June 2007, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the 350 million yuan expansion project of Diqing Shangri-La Airport.[9] On September 18, 2007, the airport expansion and renovation project officially commenced.[10][11][12]

The main structure was completed on April 24, 2009, and passed civil aviation industry acceptance, with the project quality assessed as qualified.[12][13] The newly built terminal building at Diqing Shangri-La Airport officially opened on June 16, 2009.[10]

In 2017, the implementation plan for declaring and constructing the aviation port at Diqing Shangri‑La Airport received official approval.[14]

On March 15, 2019, the Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission approved the fourth phase of the expansion and renovation project of Diqing Shangri-La Airport. Construction began in June 2020, with a total investment of approximately 140 million yuan, including the asphalt concrete overlay of the runway and the upgrading of navigation lights, etc.[15][16][17] On March 23, 2021, the project passed the group company's completion acceptance.[18] On May 13, the project passed the industry acceptance.[19]
