Location

Wuhan, China

Wuhan Tianhe International Airport is the primary commercial airport serving Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province in central China. It is one of the busiest airports in China, handling tens of millions of passengers annually and serving as a major hub for domestic and international travel. The airport is located in Huangpi District, approximately 26 kilometers north of downtown Wuhan. It has undergone significant expansion over the years, with new terminal facilities added to accommodate growing passenger demand. Wuhan gained global attention during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019–2020, and the airport was central to international travel restrictions and closures during that period. Since reopening, it has continued to grow as a key aviation hub in central China.
