Kunming Wujiaba International Airport (IATA: KMG, ICAO: ZPPP) was an airport that served Kunming, the capital of Southwestern China's Yunnan province. It is located 4 km (2.5 mi) south-east of metropolitan Kunming. Originally built in 1923, it was the city's main airport until it was replaced by the newly built Kunming Changshui International Airport on 28 June 2012. Wujiaba had been renovated numerous times into a modern facility throughout its operations. It was a major hub for China Eastern Airlines, Kunming Airlines, and Lucky Air. As of 2021, Wujiaba Airport has been demolished and the land will be fully redeveloped before the end of 2021.
