History

The airport was built in 1955 for military use, and commercial flights only started in 2004 less than 2 years after the nearby Suzhou Guangfu Airport closed traffic to commercial flights.

In May 2023, the airport cargo hub station building and part of the supporting second runway taxiway project officially started, which also marked the official start of the airport expansion.

As of December 14, 2024, the airport served 10 million passengers annually for the first time, making it the second airport in Jiangsu Province with the annual passenger traffic of more than 10 million. The general revision plan of the airport, which includes the construction of a new second runway, the extension of the first runway, the construction of a new Terminal 3, and a comprehensive transportation hub, has been approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

The airport has one runway designated 03/21 which measures 3,200 by 50 metres (10,499 ft × 164 ft).

In the future, Wuxi Shuofang Airport will have two runways and three terminals, T1, T2 and T3. By 2035, it will need to meet the passenger throughput of 21.5 million and cargo throughput of 650,000 tons. In the long term, it will meet the development plan goals of 25 million passenger throughput and 1.2 million tons of cargo throughput by 2050.
