History

Construction resumed in 2005 with private investment, and the airport was declared the first privately owned airport in China, but soon stopped again for undisclosed reasons. In 2009, construction started for the third time, back with government funding worth 1.447 billion yuan. The airport was opened on 7 March 2016.
