Ku'erle (Korla) Licheng Airport is an airport serving Korla, a city in the autonomous region of Xinjiang in the People's Republic of China. The airport is located on the Airport Expressway in Korla City, was initially built in 1967 as a military airport and opened to civil aviation operations in 1971. It is 17 kilometers from the city center and serves as a secondary aviation hub in Xinjiang. Until 2025, the airport will have two terminals with a total area of 25,925 square meters, 13 aircraft stands, a 2,800-meter-long and 50-meter-wide runway, and can accommodate aircraft up to the B757-200 or similar. The airport serves 42 cities, covering seven major cities including Beijing and Chengdu. In recent years, with the rapid development of civil aviation, during peak seasons, a shortage of aircraft stands has led to long waiting times for landing aircraft on taxiways, causing flight delays and compromising flight punctuality. The airport is currently undergoing improvement projects.
