Luoyang Beijiao Airport (IATA: LYA, ICAO: ZHLY) is a civil-military airport serving Luoyang, one of China's ancient imperial capitals located in Henan Province. It sits north of the city in the Laocheng district and handles both commercial passenger flights and military aviation operations. The airport connects Luoyang to major Chinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Shenzhen, supporting tourism driven by nearby attractions such as the Longmen Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Shaolin Temple.
