Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (IATA: ZUH, ICAO: ZGSD), (Named Zhuhai Sanzao Airport (Chinese: 珠海三灶机场) prior to 10 January 2013), is the primary airport serving the city of Zhuhai in China’s Guangdong province. It is located some 50 kilometres (31 mi) southwest of the Zhuhai city center in Sanzao Town, Jinwan District, and 25 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of Macau.
The airport currently serves only Chinese domestic flights despite having facilities for international flights. The airport hosts the largest airshow in mainland China, the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition.

## History

The airport began construction in December 1992 and opened in June 1995. One year later in 1996, the first China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition was hosted at the airport.
In October 2006, the airport officially began to co-operate with the nearby Hong Kong International Airport, forming the operator company Hong Kong-Zhuhai Airport Management Co., Ltd.

## Future expansion
