Lincang Airport

Lincang Airport (IATA: LNJ), serving Lincang in Yunnan province, opened in the early 2000s and operates from a single small terminal that handles primarily domestic traffic. This compact regional airport is an important gateway for southwestern Yunnan, linking Lincang to hub cities such as Kunming and Chengdu with frequent short-haul services. Ground access is straightforward — taxis, airport shuttles and regional coach lines connect the airport to Lincang city and nearby towns — making it convenient for budget-minded travelers. Fares tend to be affordable on domestic routes, and the airport is commonly served by carriers like China Eastern, Lucky Air and Sichuan Airlines rather than acting as a major airline hub.
