Nanning Airport to Receive a 400 Million Yuan Terminal Expansion Fund

The Nanning Airport terminal contingency project has completed its necessary land acquisition, laying the foundation for the whole project. This September, the temporary terminal area will be put into use to share some load of the current terminal before the new terminal is completed and starts operation.

For Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the project is a key step in meeting the city’s capacity requirements in light of the large expected increase in traffic volume and passenger numbers. To guarantee the continued operation of the airport and a smooth shift from the old terminal to the new terminal, the expansion of the current terminal should be completed as soon as possible; thus, the Guangxi Zhuang government is expected to invest 400 million yuan into the timely expansion of the airport’s terminal, apron, and air freight depot.

Included in the airport expansion project are a new 8,000 square meter arrival terminal, a 260,000 square meter tarmac, a 10,000 square meter freight center, and a new parking lot. When the project is completed, 36 new parking bays will be added to the 27 that already exist, allowing the airport to accommodate a total of 63 medium to heavy aircraft at once.
