CGO · One modern T2 hall, a 15–19 minute intercity to Zhengzhou East, and a daily international Priority Pass pin — paid for with leftover T1/T3 pages, leftover duplicate Gate 262 pins, snack CIP rooms, and unpublished annual on-time stats.
LYA · Luoyang Beijiao is a single-terminal civil airport north of the city, used first as a flight-training base and second as a passenger airport. In 2025 it handled 954,917 passengers. The winter international flight is Urumqi Air to Bangkok three days a week, via Urumqi.
