Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (Chinese: 成都天府国际机场) is an under-construction airport serving Chengdu, the capital of China's Sichuan province and a major air hub. The site of the airport has been chosen at Lujia, Jianyang, 51 kilometres (32 mi) south-east of the center of Chengdu. It is also named after the Tianfu New Area, a development zone for Chengdu in which the airport is located (Tianfu translating as Land of Abundance in English). Construction began May 2016, complete in 2019 and due to be opened in 2020. This airport will operate as a second airport for Chengdu with Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport continuing to operate.

It is intended for Chengdu to become the third largest airport hub in China, after Beijing and Shanghai. The airport will have six runways of Level 4F standard, when all phases are complete, with 2 terminal buildings. This will have a capacity to handle between 80 and 90 million passengers per year.^[1]^[2] On June 1, 2015, the Sichuan Provincial Airport Group announced a general design scheme for the airport. The winning design was by China Southwest Architectural Design and Research Institute, China Airport Construction Group Corporation and French architectural firm ADP Ingenierie. It features two terminal buildings in the shape of the mythical Sunbird, used as a logo for the city of Chengdu. From a central hollow circular core, 6 arms will radiate outwards with both terminals mirroring the other.^[3]
