Description
Luhe-Ma'an Air Base, also known as Nanjing Luhe Airport or Nanjing Air Base, is a military airport operated by the People's Liberation Army Air Force. It is located in the suburban Luhe District of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China. The air base opened in July 2015, replacing the older Dajiaochang Airport, which was closed on July 30, 2015. The relocation project began discussions in 2003 due to the urban expansion of Nanjing encroaching on Dajiaochang Airport. A site for the new airport was determined in January 2006, and the project received approvals from the State Council and the Central Military Commission in January 2009. Construction for Luhe Airport commenced on August 8, 2012. The air base currently hosts the 29th and 30th Bomber Regiments of the 10th Bomber Division, which is the bomber unit in the Eastern Theater Command, and their assigned H-6K bombers.
