Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport

Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport (KWE/ZUGY) is the primary commercial airport serving Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province in southwest China. Situated at an elevation of approximately 1,132 meters above sea level, it is one of the higher-altitude airports in China and handles the bulk of air traffic for the rapidly developing province. The airport has undergone significant expansion in recent decades to accommodate growing passenger volumes, with a new terminal and expanded apron facilities improving capacity. It serves as an important hub for regional connectivity within southwest China as well as offering international and long-haul domestic routes. Guizhou Province's rising profile as a tourism and technology destination—driven by its cooler climate, minority cultural heritage, and status as a major data-center hub—has contributed to steady growth in passenger traffic through Longdongbao Airport.
