Sanya Phoenix International Airport (IATA: SYX, ICAO: ZJSY) is an international airport serving the city of Sanya in South Central China’s Hainan province.

However, it was the first airport in Hainan to launch transcontinental air service, when Transaero Airlines started operating non-stop to Sanya from Moscow as early as 2007.

[citation needed] The service was discontinued after Transaero ceased operations in 2015.

Initially, it connects on the Sanya Railway Station on the Hainan Eastern Ring High-Speed Railway (10 km to the east),[77] and provides frequent high-speed rail service to a number of points along Hainan's eastern coast.

With the construction of the rest of the Hainan Western Ring High-Speed Railway, from Sanya Phoenix Airport to Haikou, rail service from Sanya Station become available to stations on the island's west coast as well.
