Chenzhou Beihu Airport — Chenzhou, China

HCZ is the IATA code for Chenzhou Beihu Airport, a domestic airport serving Chenzhou, a mid-sized city in southern Hunan province, China. The airport primarily handles short- and medium-haul flights connecting Chenzhou to major Chinese hub cities, supporting both business travel and tourism to the surrounding mountainous region, known for its scenery and mineral resources. As a regional feeder airport, HCZ plays a modest but important role in improving connectivity for a city that historically relied on rail and road links to reach larger urban centers. Traffic volumes are moderate, typical of a smaller provincial airport rather than an international gateway, and the facility continues to see incremental route additions from domestic Chinese carriers.
