Guiyang Airport Phase II Construction to Commence

Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport’s 3.2b Yuan second phase expansion is about to commence. The construction will double the current passenger throughput to 15.5 million people.
The Guiyang airport expansion project is vital to the Guizhou Province’s “11th Five Year Plan”. It will establish a new 110,000 sq m terminal capable of handing 220,000 tons of cargo and 150,000 flights annually. Since completion of the airport in 1997, the passenger throughput at Guiyang Airport has increased by 15% annually, and by the end of 2007, Guiyang Airport’s passenger throughput exceeded 4,250,000 passengers, close to the original maximum capacity of 5 million passengers.
