Diqing Shangri-La Airport

Diqing Shangri-La Airport (ZPDQ) is a medium airport in Diqing (Shangri-La), China. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code ZPDQ or IATA code DIG. It sits in Asia.

Diqing Shangri-La 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.

Diqing Shangri-La Airport sits at 10,761 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.
