Ningbo Lishe International Airport (IATA: NGB, ICAO: ZSNB) is an international airport serving Ningbo, a major city in the Yangtze River Delta region and the second largest city in East China’s Zhejiang province.

In 2022, the airport handled 6.2 million passengers, ranking 29th in China. It was the 28th busiest airport in China in cargo traffic in 2022.

History

[edit]

Ningbo's Lishe was an auxiliary air force base of the Republic-era Chinese Nationalist Air Force, and was the final launching point of Martin B-10 bombers commanded by Captain Xu Huansheng and Lieutenant Tong Yanbo of the 14th Bomber Squadron of the 8th Bomber Group in their famous transoceanic raid to Nagasaki and other cities in the Empire of Japan on 19–20 May 1938.[2][3]

Lishe airport was opened for civil service on 16 November 1984 when a CAAC Antonov AN-24 aircraft landed at the military Ningbo Zhuangqiao Airport (宁波庄桥机场).

In 1985, the Central Government of China approved the construction of Ningbo Lishe Airport. On 30 June 1990, it opened for service and became the first civil-only airport in Zhejiang. The construction cost was RMB 126 million.[citation needed]

In July 1992, the airport opened for international service. The first international service was opened to Hong Kong later the same year.[citation needed] In November 1998, service to Macau with onward code-share connection to Taipei and Kaohsiung started. International cargo flights started by the end of 1998.[citation needed]

In March 1997, Great Wall Airlines established a hub at the facility.[citation needed] The airport has services to 38 domestic destinations in China and international services to Hong Kong, Seoul, and Macau. It is served by 16 airlines.

It was renamed Ningbo Lishe International Airport from Ningbo Lishe Airport on 29 November 2005.[citation needed]

On 8 February 2006, the flight area expansion was completed.[citation needed]

On 2 December 2015, the third phase of the project started in full.[citation needed]

On 29 December 2019, the T2 terminal of Ningbo Lishe International Airport was officially transferred and opened, and the T1 terminal was closed simultaneously.[citation needed]

On 8 April 2022, the T1 terminal renovation project of Ningbo Lishe International Airport officially started.[citation needed]

On 22 December 2023, the T1 terminal of Ningbo Lishe International Airport was officially reopened.[citation needed]

Growth

[edit]

The airport is one of the fastest growing in China. In 1992, 286,021 passengers and 4,064 tons of cargo passed through the airport. In 2002, the figures grew to 1.28 million passengers and over 20,000 tons of cargo. Annual growth rate is 17.8% and 19.8% for passenger traffic and cargo traffic respectively.

In 2004, the airport handled 1.85 million passengers and 34,800 tons of cargo. It was expected to handle 2.3 million passengers and 52,000 tons of cargo in 2008.

Facilities

[edit]

A new passenger terminal was opened on 8 October 2002 at a construction cost of RMB 770 million with an annual capacity of 3.8 million passengers. It can handle 1,700 passengers at maximum per hour. The departure lounge occupies 43,500 m2. The new apron occupies an area of 87,000 m2. The new terminal has 16 departure gates and seven jetways.
