Chengdu Tianfu International Airport

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (ZUTF) is a large airport in Chengdu (Jianyang), China. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code ZUTF or IATA code TFU. It sits in Asia.

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport lies at 1,440 ft elevation.

Local operations run on Asia/Shanghai. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess inventory for ZUTF updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

As one of the larger fields in China, ZUTF tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport is one of two international airports serving Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province in Southwestern China. It was planned in 2013 and opened in 2021, after Chengdu Shuangliu Airport had been exceeding its designed maximum passenger capacity for years.
