Yiwu Airport is a dual-use military and civil airport located 5.5 km northwest of Yiwu and 51 km from Jinhua in Zhejiang province, China. It was originally a military training airfield for the People's Liberation Army Navy. In 1988, the national government approved its conversion to a dual-use facility. The airport commenced civilian operations on April 1, 1991.
