The airport was originally established in 1958 and began operations in 1962. It has been in service for decades and has evolved into a key transportation hub for the region.
The airport reflects Nanning's growing role as a meeting point where people from different parts of China and neighboring countries come together. Visitors notice the blend of local culture and international presence in the signage and in the variety of languages spoken by staff.
Travel from the airport to central Nanning takes about 40 minutes and can be done by shuttle bus, taxi, or rental car. There is also a railway station on the grounds with high-speed rail connections offering quick links to other regions.
The airport operates two parallel concrete runways and serves both civilian and military aircraft, so visitors often see military planes parked alongside commercial airliners. This shared use is common in Chinese aviation and reflects the site's strategic importance.
