Zhaotong Zhaoyang Airport （Not fully opened) — Zhaotong, China

Zhaotong Zhaoyang Airport, coded ZAT, serves the city of Zhaotong in northeastern Yunnan province, China, a mountainous region known for its rugged terrain and agricultural production, including apples and tobacco. The airport connects Zhaotong to Kunming and other major Chinese cities, providing a vital air link for a city otherwise challenged by difficult overland travel through Yunnan's steep mountain landscape. ZAT supports domestic commercial flights that facilitate trade, tourism, and labor migration from this historically underdeveloped part of Yunnan. As China continues investing in regional airport infrastructure, Zhaotong Zhaoyang has become increasingly important for connecting remote mountain communities to the national economy.
