Linyi, known as Langya and Yizhou in ancient times, is located in the southeast of Shandong Province and on the west bank of the Yellow Sea. It is named after the Linyi River. Linyi is the largest and most populous city in Shandong Province, with a total area of ??17,191.2 square kilometers and a permanent population of 10.624 million. Linyi is the core birthplace of Dongyi culture, with a history of more than 3,000 years. Zhuge Liang, Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Xiao Daocheng and other historical celebrities are all from Linyi. During the Warring States Period, the State of Chu established Lanling County in Linyi, where Xunzi once governed the city and studied. Mengshan Mountain in Linyi, with an altitude of 1,156 meters, is the second highest peak in Shandong and is known as "Daizong's Asia".

Linyi Qiyang Airport is a 4D civil airport. Although the flight area level is not high, it is the first civil aviation airport in Shandong Province. .

Linyi Qiyang Airport was first built in 1934. It later underwent two moves and reconstructions before reaching its current size. Today's Linyi Qiyang Airport is located on the bank of the Yi River.

Linyi Qiyang Airport has two terminals, namely T1 (domestic) and T2 (international, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), with a total area of ??approximately 23,000 square meters. For a large city with a population of tens of millions, Linyi's airport seems a bit small. I believe that with the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, Linyi Airport will definitely expand with the increase in aviation demand.

Linyi Qiyang Airport currently has only one runway, which is 3,200 meters long and 60 meters wide.
