The airport was never officially opened to the public. Construction commenced with a groundbreaking ceremony in December 2017 but was halted indefinitely around 2019-2020, before completion. Therefore, it did not 'close' in the traditional sense of ceasing operations, but rather construction was abandoned.
The project was halted mid-construction, primarily due to financial difficulties encountered by the private company responsible for its development. The suspension was not a result of military conversion, a major accident, or economic downturn from active operations, but rather a failure to secure continued funding to complete the project.
The site is an abandoned construction project. Satellite imagery confirms the existence of a paved runway, taxiways, and some foundational structures. However, the runway is clearly marked with large white 'X's at each end, the standard visual signal indicating that a runway is closed and unsafe for use by any aircraft. The entire facility is in a state of disuse and is not maintained.
The airport holds no operational history as it was never completed. Its significance is tied to its planned purpose as a major general aviation hub for the Guangxi region. It was designed as a Class A1 general aviation airport, intended to support a wide range of activities including pilot training, private and business flights, low-altitude air tourism, aircraft maintenance, and serving as a base for emergency and medical rescue services. Its incompletion represents a significant stalled infrastructure project for the region's aviation ambitions.
There are currently no known official plans or public announcements from government or private entities to resume construction or open the airport. The project appears to be indefinitely suspended or canceled. Any prospect of reopening would require a significant new investment and a renewed strategic interest from regional planners.
