Hefei Luogang Airport( IATA : HFE, ICAO : ZSOF) was an airport that served Hefei, the capital of East China's Anhui province. Opened in November 1977, [1] it served as the city's main airport until it was replaced by the newly opened Hefei Xinqiao International Airport on 29 May 2013. [2] In the late-2010s, the airport was planned to be renamed Hefei Luogang General-Aviation Airport (合肥骆岗通用机场) to serve helicopters and other low-flying aircraft; however, that plan was eventually abandoned. [3] In 2023, the area was re-developed into Luogang Park. [4]

The original terminal of Hefei Luogang Airport has now turned into a City Construction Museum, as part of Luogang Park City Construction Museum (Hefei).jpg
