Lufthansa offered the first intercontinental service out of Shenyang, to Frankfurt, Germany, in April 2012 but discontinued it on 28 October 2016,[4] before relaunching it on 27 March 2018.[5] Later in 2012, Sichuan Airlines launched a service to Vancouver.[6]

History

Construction started on 1 July 1985, and the airport opened on 16 April 1989, and was the main hub of China Northern Airlines, which started operating a year later[7]. Shenyang's previous airport, Shenyang Dongta Airport [zh], was the main airport of the city at that time, built in 1921, which served destinations to the USSR, Mongolia, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, and hence, domestically. However, although it was expanded several times and had a long enough runway to support narrow-body airliners, it was no longer able to accommodate more tourists and passengers. This was due to the reform and opening up, resulting in the steeply rising number of passenger tourists, whether local or foreign. As a result, Taoxian airport was built and opened on 1989 and Dongta Airport ceased civil operations, and reverted to military use (by the Imperial Japanese from 1936 to 1945 and PLAAF after 1950) until 2013[8].
