About Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport

Overview

Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport serves the Quanzhou metropolitan area in Fujian Province, China. Located at coordinates 24.796587, 118.588883, this medium-sized airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the regional economy. The airport supports commercial passenger and cargo operations in southeastern China.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 39 feet mean sea level, the airport experiences moderate coastal climate conditions typical of southeastern China. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and visibility variations associated with the coastal environment. The single concrete runway (03/21) measuring 8,530 feet offers substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for most commercial aircraft.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical positioning near the coast suggests potential for maritime weather influences and wind variations. Its single runway (03/21) is oriented to accommodate prevailing wind patterns in the region. The low elevation and concrete surface provide relatively stable operational conditions for most aircraft types.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21's substantial 8,530-foot length provides flexibility for approach and landing procedures. Pilots should conduct standard pre-flight weather assessments, particularly noting potential coastal wind shifts. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual landing techniques are applicable given the airport's moderate elevation and runway configuration.
