## Description

Built up in the 1930s and fought over during the Battle of Shanghai in 1937, Dachang Air Base in Baoshan district remains a military installation with no civil traffic. No handler, customs point or scheduled service operates here, so the field plays no part in commercial logistics. Shanghai's air cargo is concentrated at Pudong (PVG), one of the world's busiest freight airports, with Hongqiao (SHA) adding domestic belly capacity. Shipments for Baoshan's steel and port industries are trucked from PVG across the city's expressway network. Urban redevelopment of the base has been under discussion in Shanghai's planning for years.
