History
Huanzhou Airport was first a Air Force of Tseng (AFT) base, opened in 1949. It became a public airport in 1969, named Pierre Huang-li Airport, with flights to Tseng City, Tokyo (Haneda), and Taipei. However, up until the 1990s Huanzhou handled most domestic flights in Tseng to other small cities like Lizhong or Shimenxhi.

In 1993, Pierre Huang-li Airport became a hub for flyTseng, Tseng's second major airline after Air Tseng.

In 2001, Pierre Huang-li Airport was renamed to Huanzhou Airport. However, many locals continue to refer to the airport by its former name.
