Shaoguan was planning to expand the airport in early 2008.[3] However due to the Wuhan–Guangzhou high-speed railway put into service since late 2009, Shaoguan Railway Station has become a major and the most convenient transportation hub connecting Pearl River Delta cities. Also, Lechang Township has promised a 100 million CNY investment for Lechang East Railway Station.[4] The airport expansion project on hold until October 2017,[5] and it opened on November 27, 2021.[6]
