The former airport is now closed to scheduled passenger traffic.
💡 Local Tip
Outdated maps and some taxi drivers may still refer to the old DAX site as Heshi Airport; if you are flying to Dazhou today, confirm Dazhou Jinya Airport (DZH) and check summer thunderstorm delays before heading out.
🚖 Getting There
Because DAX is closed, there is no airport bus, taxi rank, or check-in service at the former site. For current travel, go to Dazhou Jinya Airport (DZH), which is reachable by airport shuttle and taxi from central Dazhou; allow 30–50 minutes by road depending on traffic. Confirm your departure airport as DZH, not DAX, when booking.
