History

Built in 1954, Shadi Air Base is an airbase of People's Liberation Army Air Force. A squadron of J8-2 fighters are in support of the PLA Hong Kong Garrison.

Commercial flights started in 1985, but ceased in 2002 due to government policy. The airport was reopened to the public in 2009.[4]

It is planned to be replaced by the new Pearl River Delta International Airport in Genghe town, Gaoming District.
