Jiaxing Airport (Chinese: 嘉兴机场), or Jiaxing Air Base, is a military air base in the city of Jiaxing in Zhejiang province, China. It is being converted to a dual-use military and civilian airport. The airport is located 8 kilometers from the city center in Xiuzhou District.[2] Due to Jiaxing Airport's proximity to both Shanghai and Hangzhou, it is touted as "Shanghai's third airport" and "Hangzhou's second airport".[3] The airport is designed to handle 500,000 passengers annually and was originally expected to open in 2011.[3]
