The world's largest airport will be born in China, with an annual passenger traffic of 120 million, overtaking Daxing Airport
The Chinese Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, Long a Fame aerospace giant, is now facing the most ambitious transformation in its history -- the third phase of expansion. The project, with a total investment of 54.42 billion yuan, not only marks the beginning of the largest reconstruction and expansion project in the history of China's civil aviation airport construction, it also means the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is on track to become the world's largest single airport.
Looking back, the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Airport was already one of the busiest in the country. The annual Qingming, May Day, national day and other holidays, here is always crowded, passenger throughput hit new highs. With a total of 63.17 million passengers, the 2023 Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is the largest in the country, and has been the champion of individual passenger traffic for four consecutive years.
However, with the rapid development of tourism and the increasing demand for high-quality travel, the existing T1 and T2 platforms can not meet the increasing demand for passenger traffic. Therefore, the third phase of the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Expansion Project is particularly urgent and important.
The third phase of the expansion project is scheduled to be completed and put into full operation in 2025, when two new runways will be added in the west and east, and Terminal T3 will be the core of the expansion project. The new T3 terminal and T2 Terminal East Four, west four finger corridor, and T3 terminal building in front of the construction of a comprehensive transportation center, the introduction of Subway, inter-city railway, high-speed railway and other rail lines.
The expansion will not only boost Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport's passenger capacity to 120m a year, but also take it to a new Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport of global aviation hubs.
Compared with other famous airports in the world, the third phase of the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport project is undoubtedly of significant scale and influence. Take Beijing Daxing International Airport, one of the city's so-called “New7Wonders of the World” airports. While innovative in design and technology, it is not as big or as big as its passenger capacity, the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport Phase III project still has its unique advantages. Once the third phase of the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is completed, it will become the world's largest single airport, which will undoubtedly further consolidate and enhance Guangzhou's position and influence in the international aviation field.
More importantly, the construction of the third phase of the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is of great significance for promoting the construction of a world-class airport complex in the guangdong-hong Kong-macao Bay Area. The implementation of this project will further optimize the layout of the aviation network in the guangdong-hong Kong-macao Bay area and enhance the air transport capacity and service level of the entire region. At the same time, with the expansion and upgrading of the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, the guangdong-hong Kong-macao Bay Area will become more closely connected with the rest of the world, injecting new vitality and impetus into the region's economic and social development.
Therefore, the third phase of the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is not only a large-scale airport expansion project, but also an important milestone in the development of civil aviation in China. It will further enhance the international status and influence of the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, promote the construction and development of a world-class airport cluster in the guangdong-hong Kong-macao Bay Area, and make an important contribution to the economic and social prosperity of the region. We look forward to the early completion of this project and believe that the future Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport will take on a new look to welcome visitors and business opportunities from all over the world.
