Did you mean flights to Kunming?

Kunming Changshui opened in 2012 to replace the cramped old Wujiaba airport, and it is the busiest airport in southwest China, sitting at around 2,100 meters on the Yunnan plateau.

Right now there are 156 airports in 16 countries connected to Kunming, 105 of them domestic, with 57 airlines flying scheduled passenger traffic.
