History
editThe Qionghai airport was built to facilitate travel to the Boao Forum for Asia, an annual political event held 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away in Boao.[5][6] The airport also serves rising tourism to the province of Hainan.[6] A feasibility study on the airport was approved by government officials in December 2012,[7] followed by the master plan in May 2013.[8] A groundbreaking ceremony was held on 17 March 2015.[5]
After a test flight in March 2016,[9] the airport received its first commercial flight – a Hainan Airlines Boeing 737 from Beijing – on 17 March 2016.[10] For a short period thereafter, the airport remained open to domestic charter flights carrying Boao Forum attendees.[11][12] After the forum, the Qionghai airport closed so that a new international terminal and a 600-metre (2,000 ft) runway extension could be completed before the next forum. The airport reopened on 29 December 2016, receiving an Air Guilin flight from Guilin.[12]
The airport was approved to be an international airport and was renamed "Qionghai Bo'ao International Airport" in April 2024.[4]
Facilities
editQionghai Airport has a 3,200-meter runway capable of handling large jet aircraft, a 9,000 square-meter terminal building, and 26 aircraft parking aprons. It is designed to handle 480,000 passengers and 1,440 tons of cargo annually by 2020.[1][2]
