Youchengji: From the coal city to the airport, Zaozhuang Yiyun Airport School set sail

Zaozhuang, May 25, 2026 -- Phoenix is the most distinctive cultural symbol of Zaozhuang, a city in southern Shandong. Fengming Lake, Fengming Pavilion, Phoenix Greenway... The image of "Phoenix" is all over the city, witnessing the historical changes of Zaozhuang, an old industrial city. Today, the story of "Phoenix" has a new chapter of development in Zaozhuang - Zaozhuang Yiyun Airport ushered in the historic first aircraft.

At 11:20 a.m. on April 28, a C560 verification aircraft printed with the words "Civil Aviation Administration of China" landed smoothly on the runway of Zaozhuang Yiyun Airport. The fire truck sprayed a "water gate" symbolizing welcome, marking the long-awaited aviation dream of the Zaozhuang people officially entered the countdown to navigation.

For Zaozhuang, this is not an ordinary flight verification, but a vivid picture of a city from "prospering because of coal" to "towards the new". As a 4C-level branch airport, Zaozhuang Yiyun Airport is equipped with a 2,600-meter runway and a 14,000-square-meter terminal, with an annual passenger throughput of 1.2 million. It will gradually open routes to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and other routes to make up for aviation shortcomings and promote the formation of the "public railway, water and air" three-dimensional transportation network.

Zaozhuang Yiyun Airport is not only a transportation project, but also an important support for Zaozhuang City's "strengthening industry and production, transformation and development". Yiyun Airport brings not only routes and passenger flow to Zaozhuang, but also the accelerated gathering of information, funds and talents, opening up a new space for the city to open up to the outside world. From the coal fire in the mining area to the railway crossing, from the canal connection to the airport to embrace the blue sky - the urban coordinates of Zaozhuang continue to extend, and the development pattern continues to open up. The green mountains are on the side, and the runway is moving forward; the phoenix spreads its wings, and the city soars.
