About RKZ Airport
Shigatse Air Base (RKZ), serving the city of Shigatse in Tibet, operates primarily as a high-altitude military and limited civilian airport with basic passenger services rather than multiple commercial terminals. Civilian flights are occasional and often seasonal, connecting to larger Chinese hubs such as Lhasa and Chengdu; major Chinese carriers may operate regional services. Travelers should check the local online flight board for the latest information on arrivals and departures due to weather and altitude-related schedule changes, limited ground facilities, and possible access restrictions.
