Haikou Meilan International Airport (HAK/ZJHK) is the primary commercial airport serving Haikou, the capital of Hainan Province in southern China. Situated in the Meilan District, it provides air connectivity for the island's northern region and serves as an important hub for domestic and regional international travel. The airport has undergone significant expansion to accommodate growing passenger traffic, supported by Hainan's development as a free-trade port and major tourism destination. A second terminal and runway expansion have been part of modernization efforts to increase capacity. Hainan Airlines uses Haikou as one of its key bases, and the airport handles millions of passengers annually connecting Hainan to major Chinese cities as well as select international destinations across Asia.
