Jiaxing Nanhu Airport (Chinese: 嘉兴机场), formerly known as Jiaxing Air Base, is an airport in the city of Jiaxing in Zhejiang province, China.[2] It is being converted to a dual-use military and civilian airport with a planned opening in 2025.[3] The airport is located 8 kilometers from the city center in Xiuzhou District.[4] Due to Jiaxing Airport's proximity to both Shanghai and Hangzhou, it is touted as "Shanghai's third airport" and "Hangzhou's second airport".[5] The airport is designed to handle 500,000 passengers annually.[5]

Backed by YTO Express (YTO Cargo Airlines), construction of the civilian facilities start in November 2022. In June 2024, the name Jiaxing Nanhu Airport was approved.[6]
