Zhoushuizi Airport is a single-runway facility that has long served as Dalian's main gateway, though it is being supplemented by a new offshore airport (Dalian Jinzhou Bay) built to relieve congestion given the city's growing traffic. It handles a mix of domestic and regional international flights, including services to Japan, South Korea, and Russia.
