Yantai Laishan International Airport (simplified Chinese: 烟台莱山国际机场; traditional Chinese: 煙台萊山國際機場) (IATA: YNT, ICAO: ZSYT) is a dual-use military and civilian airport serving the city of Yantai in Shandong Province, China.
The airport is about 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) from Yantai and began operations in October 1984. Covering over 45.79 acres (185,300 m2), the airport now has opened around 20 domestic air routes, with international routes available to Busan, Seoul, Osaka, and Hong Kong.
The new Yantai Chaoshui International Airport is now under construction near the town of Chaoshui in Penglai City, and is expected to open in 2014. When completed it will replace Laishan as Yantai's main airport.

Famous quotes containing the word airport:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
