Dining options include several cafes and small eateries that serve both local Henan specialties and national favorites. The retail area offers a selection of travel essentials, books, and souvenirs, with a particular focus on local cultural items related to Anyang's rich archaeological heritage. The compact size of the terminal ensures that all passenger services, from check-in to the departure gates, are within a very short walking distance. Navigating the airport is exceptionally intuitive, with all domestic operations concentrated in a single building, eliminating the need for inter-terminal transfers. Ground transportation is well-supported by local shuttle buses and taxis that connect the airport to Anyang city center, located approximately 27 kilometers to the north. The airfield features a 2,600-meter asphalt runway (03/21) capable of handling mid-sized commercial aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. Its location provides a vital new link for both business travelers and tourists looking to explore the Yinxu World Heritage site and other historical landmarks in the region.
