The airport Nyingchi -Main Ling (Chinese林芝 米林 机场, Pinyin Linzhi Mǐlín Jīchǎng, including: Airport Linzhi, IATA code: LZY, ICAO code: ZUNZ ) is situated in the district of Main Ling of the district of Nyingchi new commercial airport in Tibet. It is located 2949 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains, and is designed for about 120,000 passengers per year.

Since because of the mountains no instrument landing system and only less than 100 days a year visual approach is possible, the airport is equipped as one of the world's first with a GPS landing system based on differential GPS. The inaugural flight with the system took place with a suitably equipped Boeing 757 on 1 September 2006.
