History
Immediately after the Aviation law of 1927, the Japanese Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications began planning for scheduled domestic transport, resulting in opening airports in Tokyo (Haneda, Osaka (Funamachi) and Fukuoka (Najima Seaplane Airport), and for international transport of the Tokyo - Dalian (Zhoushuizi) and Osaka - Shanghai routes. As civil aviation developed later, a few air flights per day by Manchukuo National Airways came to Zhoushuizi. After the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937, there was more military traffic by the Japanese Navy than civil traffic, mostly using Douglas DC-3. The Zhoushuizi airport at that time was about 800 meters long and 400 meters wide.
Most Chinese documentation describes 1972, the year of the reopening of this airport, as the start of Zhoushuizi.
