Airport hinterland is the most important of influencing factors for civil aviation airport layout. By using methods of breaking point, expert consultation and entropy weights, the formula of computing the acting radius for airport hinterland was set up according to breaking point theory, and the idea and method were proposed to determine the service scope of an airport in an economic region. Then demonstrate the rationality of airport layout in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic zone by calculating the actual case of airport in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic zone. And get a conclusion that Leshan airport is inappropriate expansion in the near future.
