The geographical location of Sanmingsha County Civil Airport

Sanming Sha County Civil Airport is located in Sha County, Sanming Prefecture, Fujian Province. Shaxian County is a famous snack cultural city in China, a Central Soviet District County, a national civilized city, and one of the top ten counties in Fujian Province in terms of economic strength in 2014 and 2015.

The original site is located near Fenghuang Mountain, Qiujiang Street, Shaxian County. The optimized new site is located northwest of the intersection hub of Fuyin Expressway (G70), Changshen Expressway (G25) and Xiasha Sha Expressway (S35). It brings together the three expressways and opens a high-speed airport exit. The main project is located near Longci Tunnel in Gaosha Town. The new site can meet the requirements for two-way take-off and landing (the original site can only take off and land in one direction), and has the conditions to expand into a 4D-level airport in the long term, equivalent to the size of the original Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (the original site can only stay at 4C-level).

The new site is about 5 kilometers away from the county seat. The airport is much higher than the urban area, so it will have little impact on the urban area. The original site will be used as a comprehensive transportation hub in the Sanming area in the future, including the railway station passenger and cargo terminal (Sanming North Railway Station), bus passenger terminal (Sanming North Bus Station Comprehensive Passenger Transport Hub), waterless port (Sanming Land Port), Sanming Ecological New City, etc.
