At 12:18 on September 16, as the KN5799 flight from Beijing Daxing Airport officially landed, Chenzhou Beihu Airport successfully achieved its maiden flight. Since then, the people of Chenzhou have an airport at their doorstep!
The maiden flight of Beihu Airport has opened two routes between Chenzhou=Beijing (Daxing Airport) and Shanghai=Chenzhou=Beihai, 4 flights a week, and the first flight runs from Chenzhou Beihu Airport to and from Beijing Daxing Airport.
On September 16, the maiden flight ceremony of "Take off New Chenzhou" Beihu Airport was held.
North Lake Airport held a "crossing the water gate" welcoming ceremony for flight KN5799.
The flight to Chenzhou has rewritten the history of civil aviation in Hunan! This flight marked the official debut of the ten civil aviation airports in Hunan! Master Guan Chao believes that this flight is of great significance for three main reasons::
The first civil aviation airport in Hunan in the 14th Five-Year Plan period
Chenzhou is now a third-tier city.
Different from the city positioning of the provincial capital Changsha, the southern Hunan city of Chenzhou also has its own airport. It is also the first civil aviation airport in Hunan to enter the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. It is definitely a big news in local history!
Including Beihu Airport, the number of civil airports in Hunan Province has reached ten. The other nine are Changsha Huanghua Airport, Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport, Changde Taohuayuan Airport, Huaihua Zhijiang Airport, Yongzhou Lingling Airport, Hengyang Nanyue Airport, and Shaoyang Wugang Airport. , Yueyang Sanhe Airport, and Tongren Phoenix Airport are perfect!
Second. Important geographic location
Although the city of Chenzhou is small but famous, it is adjacent to Guangzhou and is the "bridgehead" of Hunan connecting Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
Chenzhou was originally more promising in terms of location, transportation, resources, etc. The completion of the new airport once again pushed the topic of "how to actively integrate into the Pearl River Delta and embrace the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" to a whole new level, which is very exciting!
The navigation of Chenzhou Beihu Airport is not only a major event in Hunan, but also a major event in Hunan and Guangdong.
Third. Important time nodes
From September 16th to 18th, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Hunan and assigned Hunan's "three highlands" strategic positioning and "four new" missions. The first stop of the inspection was Chenzhou.
Coincidentally, a year later, on September 16, 2021, Chenzhou achieved a real "take off". The first flight from Beihu Airport to Beijing Daxing Airport was the best response to the implementation of the "three highs and four new" strategy. , Is taking the initiative to seize a brand-new development opportunity.

What martial arts do the "Ten Brothers of Hunan Airport" have? Watch the tide, take you a detailed plate!
Why did Chenzhou, which is not a first-tier city, build an airport?
Chenzhou is a typical small and medium-sized city. If the traditional transportation concept of “the airport is a standard configuration in first-tier cities” continues, it may be difficult for the airport to settle in Chenzhou.
In 2021, the "National Comprehensive Three-Dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline" issued by the State Council proposes that my country will establish a "national 123 travel transportation circle", with one hour commute to urban areas, two hours to reach urban agglomerations, and three hours to cover major cities across the country.
As of 2019, statistics show that the access time to my country's civil aviation center cities is 5.3 hours, while that for cities below the sub-provincial level requires 14.4 hours. Therefore, in the "14th Five-Year Plan" phase, except for a few hub cities with dual airport plans, the next airport construction plan is dedicated to allowing small and medium airports to land in counties and cities across the country.
▲Chenzhou North Lake Airport.
In keeping with the good policies, the small and exquisite Chenzhou Beihu Airport was completed and landed. The terminal area of Beihu Airport is designed to meet the target of 550,000 passenger throughput, 3,000 tons of cargo and mail throughput, and 7,300 aircraft movements in 2025. The investment is about 2.13 billion.
Compared with the construction of highways, railways and other projects with huge investment, the advantages of small and medium-sized airports are more obvious. It is more flexible and has faster results. Chenzhou is just the right time.
How does Beihu Airport help the development of Hunan and Guangdong provinces?
▲City of Chenzhou City.
Chenzhou has always been known as the "South Gate" of Hunan. The location of the airport in Huatang Town, Beihu District, Chenzhou City is even more ingenious. It is 20 kilometers away from downtown Chenzhou. An important node in the development, Beihu Airport has seized almost all the development opportunities at the moment.
First, to promote the development of the aviation industry in Chenzhou, the airport provides new fuel!
The new channel of Beihu Airport will bring more high-end industries such as aviation logistics, food processing, e-commerce, business exhibitions, education and training, etc., which will settle in the airport economic zone and the pilot free trade zone one after another.
In addition, a large amount of funds, talents, and technologies have gathered in the airport economic zone, and the flight trips urge Chenzhou to quickly form an airport industry cluster with complete industrial chains, complete service functions, high efficiency and high output value.
Second, promote Chenzhou's high-quality tourism resources, and the airport will provide a new channel!
Chenzhou is extremely rich in tourism resources and is well-known throughout the country. In the east rivers and lakes, you can wander in the river in a flat boat; Rucheng, the story of half a quilt is widely sung; Mangshan Feitianshan, the city in the forest is full of beautiful scenery.
The airport can allow more guests from all corners of the world to come to Chenzhou, to Dongjiang Lake, Mang Mountain, Yangtian Lake, Feitian Mountain and other scenic spots, making "walk-and-go travel" a reality.
Third, promote Chenzhou to be a good bridgehead to embrace the Greater Bay Area, and the airport will provide a new runway!
According to incomplete statistics, more than 80% of the investment projects and funds in Chenzhou come from the Greater Bay Area. It has active investment cooperation and non-governmental exchanges with cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and has a good foundation for cooperation.
The navigation of Beihu Airport will improve the transportation network from Hunan Province to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, improve the industrial collaboration system, and deepen cooperation with the Greater Bay Area in ecological environment construction.
What martial arts do the "Ten Airport Brothers" in Hunan have?
They are all civil aviation airports. The management methods and attributes of the "Ten Airport Brothers" in Hunan are actually different, and their roles are naturally different.
The first category is the branch airports of Hunan Airport Group, including Changsha Huanghua Airport, Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport, Changde Taohuayuan Airport, Huaihua Zhijiang Airport, and Yongzhou Lingling Airport.
As the largest international airport in the province, Changsha Huanghua Airport has many international routes and bears the most important transportation capacity in the province. It is the absolute big brother of the transportation hub;
Also an international airport, Zhangjiajie Hehua Airport is also an important window for Hunan’s opening to the outside world and an important part of enhancing Hunan’s international tourism image;
The three airports of Changde, Huaihua, and Yongzhou, as gateways to the outside world, are of great significance to the local construction of a three-dimensional transportation system, enhancing the image of the city, and promoting the economic development of Hunan.
The second category is built by the local government and managed by Hunan Airport Group, including Hengyang Nanyue Airport, Shaoyang Wugang Airport and Chenzhou Beihu Airport.
Hengyang Nanyue Airport is more "big-name" than imagined. It is positioned as a major branch airport in the country. It has improved the layout of the northern area of South China and Hunan Airport, filled the gaps in civilian airports in central and southern Hunan, and is helpful for accelerating the flow of people, logistics, and capital in the central and southern regions. The flow of currents has achieved remarkable results in promoting regional economic development in the northern region of South China;
Shaoyang Wugang Airport is of great significance for accelerating the development of Shaoyang, integrating into a larger development pattern, expanding opening to the outside world, and stimulating the development of the tourism industry in the whole region.
The third category is the special Yueyang Sanhe Airport and Tongren Phoenix Airport.
Yueyang Sanhe Airport does not belong to Hunan Airport Group, nor is it managed separately by Hunan Airport. Its meaning of "independent character" cannot be ignored. It covers the Dongting Lake area, the Jianghan Plain and the adjacent areas of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, which is helpful to promote the open development of Yueyang. It is of strategic significance to integrate the construction with ports and airports to enhance the facilitation level of the business environment for cross-border trade;
Tongren Phoenix Airport is even more special. It is not even included in the Hunan Airport list in many news, because it is built at the junction of the two provinces, straddling Songtao counties in Guizhou and Phoenix counties in Hunan, 22 kilometers away from Tongren City and west of Xiangxi. The state capital Jishou is 85 kilometers away and Fenghuang County is 28 kilometers away, which is the only situation in the country.
▲Satellite remote sensing image of Xiangxi Liye Airport.
There are 10 airports in 14 cities and prefectures in Hunan, and 70% of the cities can be reached directly by planes. Today, Xiangxi Liye Airport is under construction. As an important branch airport for rural revitalization in Wuling area and tourism development in western Hunan, it will fill the gap of civil aviation airport in western Hunan, improve the airport network layout, and take into consideration the borders of Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing, and Guizhou. It is eye-catching in all counties and cities!
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, more convenient air passages, a higher-end talent team, and a more fashionable city image are the new kinetic energy given to Hunan by the airports! Guanchao Jun believes that accelerating the construction of regional airports and weaving the Hunan aviation network is an important task to build a new development pattern of "double circulation", which is also the only way for the economic development of all provinces.
The "National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline" released in February this year clarified that by 2035, there will be 400 civil transportation airports in the country. By then, my country will basically build a world-class airport cluster and international aviation (cargo) hub as the core, regional hub As the backbone, non-hub airports and general-purpose airports are important supplements to the national comprehensive airport system.
Following the pace of the national strategy, Hunan will build a modern Changsha international hub airport, promote the construction of trunk and feeder airports, and vigorously develop general aviation. It will build an aviation network of "one hub, one branch, nine branches and multiple points". At that time, Hunan will fly again. New heights!
