A: Chongqing has a special terrain. The mountainous terrain makes ground transportation construction difficult. The airport layout takes into account three factors: 1) demand for the main city hub; 2) regional coverage in northeastern Chongqing and southeastern Chongqing; 3) strategic positioning of the Chengdu-Chongqing twin-city economic circle.
Q: Which airport is closest to the city center?
A: Jiangbei Airport is about 20 kilometers away from Jiefangbei and takes 30 minutes by car. Baishiyi Airport is only 15 kilometers away from Yangjiaping, but it is not open to civil aviation transportation.
Summary: Through the "one large and four small" airport layout, Chongqing has formed an aviation network system covering the whole city and radiating to the southwest. With the planning and construction of T3B terminal and the second airport, Chongqing is rapidly moving towards the goal of becoming an international aviation hub. It is recommended that tourists choose the airport according to their itinerary: choose Jiangbei Airport for international flights, Wushan/Wanzhou Airport for Three Gorges tours, and Qianjiang Airport for Wuling Mountain tours.
