Key Chinese aviation research and military air base near Xi'an.

Location

Xi'an (Yanliang), China

Yanliang Air Base is a major military aviation installation located in the Yanliang District of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China. It serves primarily as a base for the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and is closely associated with China's aviation research and development activities. The base is home to the Chinese Flight Test Establishment (CFTE), which conducts flight testing for military and civil aircraft developed in China. The proximity to AVIC's (Aviation Industry Corporation of China) manufacturing and research facilities in the Yanliang area makes this one of the most strategically important aviation hubs in the country. Due to its military nature, the facility is not open to civilian commercial traffic and has no passenger terminal operations. It does not hold a public IATA code and access is strictly controlled by Chinese military authorities.
