From the construction of military airports in the western suburbs of Yanji in 1952, to the establishment of Yanji Station of Civil Aviation in 1985, and now it has become the most international supporting port airport, Yanji Airport has undergone tremendous changes.

On August 29, 1985, the first flight of the An-24 passenger aircraft Yanji-Shenyang route

The completion of Yanji Airport and the then Yanbian State Party Secretary and Governor Li Dexun's efforts are inseparable. In the early 1980s, because it was remote, many foreign entrepreneurs did not understand Yanbian and could not come to Yanbian to invest in their careers. After learning about it, Li Dezhi secretly determined to build an airport. He ran the central government, run the State Council, and run the Central Military Commission, which officially proposed that Yanbian officially proposed that Yanji Military Airport was transformed and expanded into military and civilian airports. In order to realize this wish one day, he continued to run the Air Force, runs a civil aviation, and run the State Planning Commission, and found the ministers and directors of the Minister of the State Council of the State Council of Yanbian to put forward his own ideas to open the road for the start of the civil aviation industry of Yanbian. Essence After several twists and turns, in 1985, the State Council and the Central Military Commission approved that Yanji Airport was officially converted into a military and civilian airport.

On April 12, 1985, the State Council and the Central Military Commission approved the use of civil aviation to use the Air Force Chaoyangchuan Airport. On June 2 of the same year, a ministry of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture Government officially signed the "Agreement on the Usage of the Air Force of Civil Aviation". On July 1, 1985, the Civil Aviation Yanji Station was established. On August 29 of the same year, the first flight of the An -24 passenger aircraft Yanji -Shenyang route ended the history of no civil aviation flight in Yanbian.

As the first batch of civil aviation people, Lu Yanfeng, director of the Public Security Bureau of the Yanji Station of Civil Aviation, witnessed the initial construction of Yanji Airport, from scratch, from simplicity to extraordinary. Lu Yanfeng said that when the airport was initially built, the conditions were very difficult. The runway was 2000 meters long and 45 meters wide. The facilities and equipment were simple. Only small passenger planes such as -24, Yun -7 were available. All members are adjusted from various departments and units. A series of personnel such as flying are technical personnel such as Changchun, Shenyang or Beijing. After the establishment of the airport, there are only more than 30 people.

The old terminal of Yanji Airport was founded in 1987 and completed in September 1988

At the end of the 1980s, in order to meet the growing capacity, Yanji Airport began to expand and transform. The expansion and reconstruction project is divided into two phases. The first phase of the project started in May 1993. It was mainly constructed with the flight area road road. In November of the same year, the project passed acceptance and put into use. The second phase of the project was started in October 1993. It was mainly constructed with the new terminal building. It was completed in April 1997 and was put into operation in June. At that time, Li Yanlong, the former manager of the original flight zone management department of 35, came to the airport to work and became a new group of witnesses of the development of civil aviation. He said that after completion, the use effect was very good, and the shutdown positions and gallery bridges were available. The airport is a large model, and the throughput of take -off and landing grows up every year. Data show that in 1997, the expansion and renovation of the passenger throughput, freight volume, and flights and landing racks of Yanji Airport were 4.1, 3.0, and 2.2 times before the expansion and reconstruction. The routes were increased from 3 Shenyang, Changchun, and Beijing to 9, and increased from 1 airline to 9 airlines. A rack of "Mai Dao" and "Boeing" shouted the blue sky, awakening the ancient land of Yanbian, and the people of Yanbian finally fulfilled the dream of flying on a large aircraft.

In June 2001, regular flights from Yanji to Seoul were officially implemented. The establishment of the international air corridor allowed Yanji Airport to insert two wings for Yanbian economy. In 2011, the passenger throughput of Yanji Airport exceeded one million, becoming the largest branch airport in the Northeast. Since 2012, the special funds of civil aviation and the provincial, state, and municipal governments have invested nearly 125 million yuan to carry out the renovation and expansion of the terminal, the lighting of the terminal building, and the transformation of folk customs. On June 9, 2017, the "Yanji Chaoyangchuan Airport" was officially renamed "Yanji Chaoyangchuan International Airport", and Yanji Airport was also known as the most international branch airport.

In the past two years, the civil aviation industry was affected by the suspension and deceleration keys. On the one hand, contact local governments and airlines to fight for aviation rights and restore the aviation market as soon as possible. The other party carried out a number of activities and training to serve the true feelings of passengers. In 2021, Yanji Airport won the first batch of Red Aviation Tourism Demonstration Airport in the country; in 2022, it was awarded excellent service quality airports. In Chunhua Qiu Shi in 37 years, Yanji Airport wrote a strong stroke for the economic steam of Yanbian Prefecture.
