Gannan Xiahe Airport

Gannan Xiahe Airport (ZLXH) is a medium airport in Gannan (Xiahe), China. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code ZLXH or IATA code GXH. It sits in Asia.

Gannan Xiahe Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Gannan Xiahe Airport sits at 10,510 ft above sea level. At this elevation, density-altitude effects are significant year-round. Operators should plan for reduced engine performance and longer takeoff rolls on warm days, and many flight departments require runway-analysis software for departures.

Local operations run on Asia/Shanghai. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
