Liuzhou's civil-military gateway in southern Guangxi.

Location

Liuzhou, China

Liuzhou Bailian Airport (IATA: LZH, ICAO: ZGZH) serves Liuzhou, a major industrial city in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southern China. The airport operates as a dual-use civil-military facility, sharing its infrastructure with the People's Liberation Army Air Force's Bailian Air Base. The airport handles domestic routes connecting Liuzhou to major Chinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu. It has historically been constrained by its shared military status and relatively modest terminal capacity, which has driven planning for a new dedicated civil airport in the region. A new replacement airport, Liuzhou Longtan Airport, has been under development to provide greater capacity and modern facilities better suited to the city's growing aviation needs, with Bailian Airport expected to eventually be phased out for civil use.

Terminals

The airport has a single passenger terminal handling domestic civil aviation operations alongside its military functions.
