Airborne geophysical surveys, characteristic of being green, economical, efficient, and subjected to less influence by surface factors, serve as the one of most effective means of basic surveys and scientific research on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This study reviewed the progress in the airborne geophysical surveys in the Qiangtang Basin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the past thirty years, systematically summarizing the progress and geological interpretation results of comprehensive airborne geophysical surveys in the basin. Furthermore, this study presented research progress and understanding of major basic geological issues of the basin, such as the basin's boundaries, central uplift zone, basement properties, deep structures, and cover characteristics, as well as the identification of favorable structural areas for oil and gas exploration. Finally, based on an analysis of the developmental trends of airborne geophysical surveys in the Qiangtang Basin, this study proposed opinions and suggestions for key research directions in the future.
