It is the main base of XiamenAir and TAECO, an aircraft maintenance provider. The airport is located on the north side of Xiamen Island. Construction of a new terminal (Terminal 4) started in October 2011 and was completed in 2014.

## History
### New destinations

KLM began the first intercontinental air route out of Xiamen, to Amsterdam, on 27 March 2011. Since then, long-haul traffic has expanded, with XiamenAir launching flights to Amsterdam, Sydney, Melbourne, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Paris and Doha after taking delivery of the Boeing 787.

### New airport

Following the opening of Terminal 4 in 2014, Gaoqi airport had little room to expand. As such, a new airport is currently under construction on Dadeng Island, Xiang'an District, currently known as Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport. When completed it will have two new runways, a 550,000 sq meter terminal, and be able to handle up to 45 million passengers, and have subway links to Xiamen railway station.
