Chongqing Airport (CKG), officially Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, is the main airport for the city of Chongqing in south-west China. It is in Yubei District, within the Liangjiang New Area, about 19 to 21 km north-east of central Chongqing, and Chongqing Airport Group runs it. Passenger flights are handled at T3: the main terminal building, T3A, where everyone checks in, and the T3B satellite concourse, an airside pier for boarding. The airport has four runways that can operate at the same time.

The older terminals are no longer the place to go. T1 has been closed since T3A opened, and recent reports say T2 no longer handles passenger flights and will be refitted. Some older airport pages still mention T2, so treat the terminal on your e-ticket as final.

Terminals and airlines at Chongqing Airport

T3A (domestic and international)

T3A is the main terminal for domestic and international flights. Check-in, security and baggage reclaim all happen here, including for passengers whose flight boards at T3B. The operator lists these airlines at T3A:

• Air China
• China Southern Airlines
• Chongqing Airlines
• China Eastern Airlines
• Shanghai Airlines
• Shandong Airlines
• Hebei Airlines
• Xiamen Air
• Shenzhen Airlines
• Chengdu Airlines
• Loong Air
• Tibet Airlines
• Kunming Airlines
• Okay Airways
• Hainan Airlines
• Tianjin Airlines
• Juneyao Air
• Beijing Capital Airlines
• Ruili Airlines
• China United Airlines
• Lucky Air
• Jiangxi Air
• Colorful Guizhou Airlines

This comes from the operator's per-terminal contact list rather than a full airline directory, so other airlines may fly from CKG too. On a codeshare, look for the operating airline on your e-ticket.

T3B satellite concourse

T3B is an airside satellite used for boarding. There is no check-in at T3B and no airline list is published for it, so your boarding pass tells you whether your flight leaves from there.

Moving between T3A and T3B

A driverless monorail people mover links T3A with the T3B satellite on the airside, and the ride takes about 3 minutes. If you board at T3B, allow a little extra time after security.

Getting to and from Chongqing Airport

Most ground transport starts at the Ground Transportation Centre (GTC) in front of T3A. Fares are shown at the station, the counter or in the app.

Metro Line 10

Chongqing Rail Transit Line 10 has a T3 station at the terminal. Line 3 serves only the T2 area, so it is not the line for current passenger flights.

Airport express bus K01

The K01 airport express bus runs from the terminal to Jiefangbei in the city centre, by way of Jiazhou, Damiao, Shangqingsi and the Great Hall. Allow about 50 to 65 minutes, depending on traffic.

Long-distance coach

The T3 coach station on level 2 of the GTC has coaches to towns in Chongqing and neighbouring Sichuan.

Taxi

Taxis pick up at the Ground Transportation Centre in front of T3A.

Parking

The GTC multi-storey car park in front of T3A is open 24 hours. The airport does not set out short-term and long-term areas, and rates change, so check at the car park.

Tips for departing from Chongqing Airport

The airport does not publish a set time to arrive, so follow your airline. As a guide, China Southern Airlines closes domestic check-in 40 minutes before departure and international check-in 100 minutes before. If you are connecting, the airport asks you to be at the gate at least 45 minutes before departure.
