Honghe Mengzi Airport is an under-construction dual-use military and civil airport being built inMengzi City, capital of theHonghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in China's southwesternYunnan province near theVietnamese border.[1] The airport is located in Daguoxi Village (大郭西村), Yuguopu Subdistrict (雨过铺).[2]
The airport was first proposed in 1999, but was repeatedly delayed due to complications with the military Mengzi Air Base. On October 9, 2012, the project finally gained approvals from theState Council and theCentral Military Commission of China, with the decision to build a dual-use airport to replace the existing air base. Construction was expected to begin by the end of 2012, with a total investment of 3 billion yuan.[1] Construction started on November 17, 2020.[3]
