Beijing Nanyuan Airport, Military and commercial airport in Fengtai District, China
Beijing Nanyuan Airport is an airport located in the Nanyuan Subdistrict within Fengtai District that served commercial air traffic. The facility included two terminal buildings with multiple boarding areas and was configured to handle scheduled airline operations.
The airport was established in 1910 by the Qing government as a starting point for Chinese aviation. It later developed into a commercial hub after serving earlier aviation development and training functions.
The airport served as a central location for National Day Show of Force events, demonstrating Chinese military aviation capabilities through the People's Liberation Army.
The airport was accessible from urban transit points and provided connections to many destinations across the country. The facilities were designed to accommodate travelers with varying needs.
The airport operated as a dual facility, handling both military and civilian aviation operations simultaneously. This dual-use arrangement ended in 2019 when Beijing Daxing International Airport opened.
