Built in 1996, the airport was expanded to include international routes on July 13, 2023, making it the second international airport in Hubei Province, following Wuhan's Tianhe Airport. In April 2024, it was renamed Yichang Sanxia International Airport.
The airport currently offers regular international flights to Bangkok, Thailand; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; and Seoul, South Korea. It plans to introduce additional routes this year, including destinations in Haikou and Singapore.
