The airport is organised with multiple passenger terminals and concourses serving domestic and international traffic; gates and processing areas are grouped by terminal building rather than a single hall. Airlines operate from allocated terminals and there are transfer connections (bus/shuttle and internal transfers) between terminals for passengers changing flights.

Xi’an airport is located outside the city and road travel to the centre typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on traffic and the route.

• Rail / metro: The airport is connected to Xi’an’s wider transport network by airport rail/express or metro links-these provide a faster, traffic‑independent option into the city centre (travel times vary by line).
• Buses: Regular airport shuttle buses and coaches serve downtown Xi’an and major transport hubs; journey times depend on route and traffic.
• Taxi / ride‑share: Taxis are available at the arrivals area; rides into central Xi’an typically take 30-60 minutes.
• Driving / parking: The airport has short‑ and long‑term parking and is accessed by the regional expressway network.

Facilities reflect the airport’s role as a major regional hub.
