History
The Qionghai airport was built to facilitate travel to the Boao Forum for Asia, an annual political event held 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away in Boao. The airport also serves rising tourism to the province of Hainan. A feasibility study on the airport was approved by government officials in December 2012, followed by the master plan in May 2013. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on 17 March 2015.
After a test flight in March 2016, the airport received its first commercial flight – a Hainan Airlines Boeing 737 from Beijing – on 17 March 2016. For a short period thereafter, the airport remained open to domestic charter flights carrying Boao Forum attendees. After the forum, the Qionghai airport closed so that a new international terminal and a 600-metre (2,000 ft) runway extension could be completed before the next forum. The airport reopened on 29 December 2016, receiving an Air Guilin flight from Guilin.
The airport was approved to be an international airport and was renamed "Qionghai Bo'ao International Airport" in April 2024.
As of 2025, the airport does not serve international routes, and it only serves domestic flights. Previously, other international carriers operated at the airport, such as Batik Air Malaysia to Kuala Lumpur and Aero K to Seoul.
On 2 September 2026, the airport was officially upgraded from 4C to 4E-class.
