Ankang Fuqiang Airport (AKA/ZLAK) is a small civil airport serving Ankang in southern Shaanxi, located in Hanbin District near the Han River valley.

The compact single-terminal facility handles domestic flights and is known for relatively quick passenger processing.
💡 Local Tip
Fog and low clouds can settle in the Han River valley, especially in winter and early spring, so frequent visitors prefer morning departures and avoid tight connections.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is roughly 15–20 km from downtown Ankang; taxis and ride-hailing are the most direct options and take about 30–40 minutes. An airport shuttle bus also connects to the city, but it runs on a flight-based schedule, so confirm times after landing. Allow extra time during peak hours if continuing to Ankang Railway Station or the Han River waterfront.
