Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (IATA: SHA, ICAO: ZSSS) is one of two international airports of Shanghai, the largest city by population in China, and a significant airline hub of the country. Hongqiao Airport mainly serves domestic and regional flights, although the airport also serves selected international flights (mainly to Seoul–Gimpo, Taipei–Songshan, and Tokyo–Haneda). Since it is the closest large airport near Nanjing (except Nanjing Lukou Airport), Hongqiao Airport is where our club gathers most.
