Nanning Wuxu International Airport (IATA: NNG, ICAO: ZGNN), known as Air Force Nanning Air Base when used for military purposes, is a dual‑use civil–military international airport serving Nanning, the capital of South Central China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It is located 32 km (20 mi) southwest of the centre of the city. The airport was built in 1962, with improvements made in 1990. Terminal 2 entered official operation on September 25, 2014. Its design was inspired by the Han‑dynasty “Phoenix Lantern” unearthed in Hepu, Guangxi. The building covers 189,000 m2 (2,030,000 sq ft), has three floors, and is equipped with 32 passenger boarding bridges.
It is designed to handle 16 million passengers annually. The number of passengers reached 1 million in 2002, and jumped to 2 million by 2006. The number of passengers reached 15 million passengers in 2019.
Classified as a 4E‑grade airfield, it is the largest airport in Guangxi and serves as an important provincial trunk‑line airport as well as a designated gateway hub to ASEAN. In 2025, the airport handled 13.5 million passengers, a year‑on‑year decrease of 3.6 percent; 186,616.7 tons of cargo and mail, down 8.1 percent; and 97,966 aircraft movements, an decrease of 7.5 percent. These figures ranked the airport 33th, 22th, and 38th respectively among airports in China that year.
