Xi'an's historic secondary airport serving general aviation.

Location
Xi'an, China
Xi'an Xiguan Airport (IATA: SIA, ICAO: ZLSN) is a smaller, secondary airport located in the Baqiao district of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China. It has historically served limited commercial and general aviation operations alongside the city's primary international gateway, Xi'an Xianyang International Airport. The airport's role in commercial passenger traffic has been minimal, with Xi'an Xianyang International Airport handling the vast majority of scheduled airline services for the region. Xiguan Airport has been associated more with military, cargo, and general aviation uses over the years. Due to its secondary status and limited scheduled commercial operations, publicly available details on its passenger facilities, airlines, and ground transport infrastructure are sparse compared to major Chinese airports.

Dining

Dining options within the airport itself are extremely limited given its general aviation status. The surrounding Baqiao district offers local Shaanxi cuisine including biangbiang noodles and roujiamo at nearby street stalls and small restaurants. Travellers are advised to eat before arriving or plan dining in central Xi'an.

Traveller Tips
  • This airport handles very limited scheduled traffic — confirm your departure point, as most flights use Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (XIY).
  • Book DiDi or a taxi in advance as on-demand transport may be sparse at this smaller facility.
  • Carry cash in Chinese yuan (RMB) as smaller local vendors and transport options may not accept foreign cards.
  • Allow extra travel time if heading to central Xi'an landmarks such as the Terracotta Warriors or the Ancient City Wall.
