The 34th Transport Aviation Division is a formation of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force. It was formed on 28 August 1963 initially with the 100th and 101st Regiments.[1]

Today it is headquartered at Beijing Nanyuan Airport in the Central Theatre Command. It was equipped with Y-7, Y-8, and Il-18 transport aircraft, with the 100th, 101st, and 102nd Regiments.

The formation appears to have been reorganised in 2017, with the 101st, 202nd, and 203rd Regiment transformed into a Transportation and Search and Rescue Brigade, with only the 100th Regiment surviving as part of the division, flying Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma and EC225 helicopters.
