Template:Airport end frame Hongqiao Airport (Template:Zh-cpl) is one of the two airports in Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Its IATA Airport Code is SHA and its ICAO Airport Code is ZSSS. The airport is in the western part of a still relatively urban area of Shanghai.

Before the construction of Shanghai-Pudong International Airport in 1999, Hongqiao Airport served as Shanghai's main international airport. Now the airport mostly serves domestic flights.

Two taxi ranks, divided in to long and short distance, service the airport. A bus stop provides various services to other parts of the city. As of October 2003, one minibus route terminates at Jing An Temple station, and costs four-and-a-half renminbi.
