Zhangye Ganzhou Airport (IATA: YZY, ICAO: ZLZY) is a dual-use military and civil airport serving the city of Zhangye in Gansu Province, China. It is located 24 kilometers (15 mi) from the city center.[2] Construction began in May 2010 to convert the air base to a dual-use airport, at an estimated cost of 313 million yuan. The airport was opened on 1 November 2011.[3]

History

Zhangye Ganzhou Airport was formerly known as Air Force Zhangye Airport. On November 14, 2008, the initial work on the dual-use reconstruction project of the air force airport was officially launched.[4][5][6] In 2009, the State Council and the Central Military Commission approved the construction of Zhangye Airport for both military and civilian use.[5] On May 11, 2010, the reconstruction project officially commenced.[4]

On August 24, the calibration aircraft of the Civil Aviation Flight Inspection Center of China arrived at Zhangye Ganzhou Airport.[7] On August 27, 2011, Zhangye Airport completed its calibration flight mission.[8] The test flight was successful on October 14, 2011.[9] On October 26, 2011, Zhangye Airport completed its acceptance test.[4] On November 1, 2011, Zhangye Airport officially opened to traffic, with its civilian section named "Zhangye Ganzhou Airport."[9][10] The airport launched the Xi'an-Lanzhou-Zhangye route operated by Tianjin Airlines EMB145 on the same day.[9]

On March 30, 2025, Zhangye Ganzhou Airport suspended operations due to airport facility renovation and upgrades, with all routes and flights suspended.[11][12] On May 16, 2025, Zhangye Airport officially resumed operations, with flight G54069 being its inaugural flight.[13]
