The new airport has two runways (versus the single runway at Wujiaba), and handled 48,075,978 passengers in 2019, making it one of the 50 busiest airports in the world by passenger traffic, the first time it earned this distinction.

The main terminal was designed by architectural firm SOM with engineering firm Arup.[3]

History

edit

Construction began in 2009. At the time, the facility was reported to be named the Zheng He International Airport, named after Zheng He, a Chinese mariner, explorer, and diplomat.

he very short construction time was marred by two separate incidents. The first occurred on January 3, 2010, when seven construction workers died as an incomplete overpass collapsed.[4] On June 28, 2011, 11 workers were injured when a tunnel that was under construction collapsed.[5]

Construction of the airport's main terminal was completed by July 2011.[6]
