On November 13, 2006, three potential sites were initially selected for the construction of Lüliang Airport: Tianjiahuiyuan in Licheng District, Sunjiashan in Dawu Town, Fangshan County, and Xinglongwan in Yukou Town, Fangshan County.[7]
The final selected location for the airport was Dawu Town, approximately 20.5 kilometers from downtown Lüliang. It was positioned as a domestic feeder airport and the construction began on February 21, 2009.[8] The airport was designed to 4C-level flight zone standards, capable of handling aircraft such as the CRJ-200, Boeing 737-800, Airbus A319, and Airbus A320. The terminal building had an area of 13,000 square meters, a runway of 2,600 meters, and was designed to handle 200,000 passengers and 900 tons of cargo annually.[9] Construction was completed in 2013, with a total investment of 764 million yuan. The airport was officially opened to traffic on January 26, 2014.[10]

The airport will have one runway that is 2,600 meters long and 45 meters wide (class 4C), and a 13,000-square-meter terminal building. It is projected to handle 200,000 passengers and 900 tons of cargo annually by 2020.[2]
