Location

Changsha, China

Changsha Datuopu Airport, identified by ICAO code ZGCS, is a military airfield located in the Tianxin district of Changsha, Hunan Province, China. It served historically as the primary civil aviation gateway to Changsha before being succeeded by Changsha Huanghua International Airport (IATA: CSX), which opened in 1977 and was later expanded significantly. The facility transitioned primarily to military use as Changsha Air Base following the opening and expansion of Huanghua International Airport. Today it operates under the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and is not open to commercial passenger traffic. Due to its restricted military status, detailed operational information about the base is limited in open sources.
