<p class="blog-para">The construction of Hongqiao airport started in 1921. In May 1923, the airport opened for mixed civilian use. The Chinese Air Force deployed fighter-attack planes to Hongqiao in an operational response to the Shanghai Incident of 1932 and engaged Japanese carrier-based planes for the first time that day. In 1937, Hongqiao was the site of the so-called 'Oyama Incident' in which a Japanese lieutenant was shot dead by Chinese Peace Preservation Corps soldiers in the lead-up to the Battle of Shanghai.</p>
<p class="blog-para">During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the airport was occupied by the Japanese and used as an air force base. Its military use continued after being handed over to the Republic of China government and, later, the People's Republic of China government. In late 1963, it was rebuilt for civilian use and was re-opened in April 1964. A major expansion took place from March to September 1984 and another from December 1988 to December 1991. Shanghai Hongqiao Airport handled 44,628,004 passengers in 2018.</p>
