Turpan Jiaohe Airport (IATA: TLQ, ICAO: ZWTP) is an airport serving the city of Turpan in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. It is located 10 kilometers northwest of the city, and named after the Jiaohe Ruins. First built in the 1950s but out of use by the 1970s, the airport was relocated and rebuilt at the current site starting May 2009, with an investment of 430 million yuan. Turpan Airport was reopened on 9 July 2010.[1] The runway is 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) long.[citation needed]
