Airport Key Facts

Flying Privately to Wuhu

Arriving at Wuhu Air Base by private jet removes the delays and congestion associated with larger commercial hubs such as Hefei Xinqiao International Airport, placing passengers closer to Wuhu’s business core with minimal ground time. Private and executive flights benefit from dedicated ramp access, allowing passengers to disembark directly to awaiting vehicles — a significant advantage for time-sensitive business visits. Flexible scheduling, subject to the required military coordination and slot approval process, allows itineraries to be tailored precisely around meetings or events in the city. The streamlined passenger experience at WHU is well suited to high-net-worth travellers who value efficiency and discretion above all else.

About Wuhu Air Base

Wuhu Air Base, designated IATA code WHU and ICAO code ZSWU, is a joint military and civil-use facility operated primarily by the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). The base has a long operational history as a key military installation in eastern China’s Anhui Province, with selective access extended to civil and private aviation. The runway, at approximately 2,800 metres, is capable of handling mid-size and super-midsize business jets, as well as smaller turboprops and light jets. Civil passengers using the facility for private charter flights pass through a coordinated customs and immigration process, with arrivals subject to advance notice and approval from the relevant Chinese aviation and military authorities. The base’s dual-use status means that scheduling requires careful pre-coordination, and Prime Jet Services manages this process seamlessly on behalf of all clients.
