Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (IATA: JJN, ICAO: ZSQZ) is a civil aviation airport located in Jinjiang City, within the broader Quanzhou metropolitan area of Fujian Province, China. It serves as an important regional hub connecting Quanzhou—a major manufacturing and trade city historically known as a starting point of the Maritime Silk Road—to destinations across mainland China and select international routes.
