Langzhong Gucheng Airport (IATA: LZG, ICAO: ZULA) is an airport serving the city of Langzhong in Southwest China's Sichuan Province. It is located in the town of Shilong (石龙) in Langzhong. This airport named after Lanzhong's historic city centre.[1]

Construction for the airport first began in 1994, after receiving approval from the national government of China in August 1992.[2] However, work was later stopped for shortage of funds.[3] Meanwhile, nearby Guangyuan Panlong Airport and Nanchong Gaoping Airport, which were started later, were completed and opened to the public.[3]

In December 2018, construction for Langzhong Airport resumed after a hiatus of more than 20 years, as the growing popularity of Langzhong as a tourist destination provides new justification for building the airport.[3] The construction budget is 960 million yuan, and the airport opened on December 17, 2023.[4][5]

Langzhong Airport has a 3,600-metre (11,800 ft) runway (class 4C) and a 7,000-square-metre (75,000 sq ft) terminal building.[2][3]
