Qamdo Bangda Airport is an airport serving Qamdo (Changdu), Tibet, China. It is located in the village of Bamda (Bangda). The airport is 2.5 hours by mountain road from the county seat of Qamdo. The long commute is the result of no flat land closer to the city being available to construct an airport. Due to high altitude weather and geologic problems, the airport decided to repair the runway in 2007 and 2013. In October 2015, the construction of a 4000-meter-long second runway started, and it will be in service before 2018.
