Nanjing Dajiaochang Airport was an airport that served Nanjing, the capital of East China's Jiangsu province. It is located 6.2 kilometres (3.9 mi) south of Xinjiekou, the center of Nanjing, and is surrounded on three sides by the Qinhuai River.[1]
On 28 June 1997, Nanjing Lukou International Airport was opened and all commercial flights were transferred to the new airport. Dajiaochang Airport remained in use as a military air base.[1] On 8 August 2012, construction began for Nanjing Luhe Airport.[2] After Luhe Airport was opened in July 2015 and the Nanjing Air Base transferred to the new airport, Dajiaochang Airport was closed on 30 July 2015.[3] It will be redeveloped into a commercial and residential area, and its historic runway will be conserved as a public open space.[4]
