Location
Jinchang, China
Jinchang Jinchuan Airport (IATA: JIC, ICAO: ZLJC) is a domestic civil airport serving Jinchang, a city in Gansu Province, northwestern China. Jinchang is widely known as the "Nickel Capital of China" due to the massive Jinchuan nickel and copper deposits mined there. The airport supports regional air connectivity for a city that is primarily an industrial hub, facilitating both business travel related to mining operations and general passenger traffic.
