The Dalian Jinzhou Bay International Airport will be the largest airport on an artificial island once construction is completed. China is aiming for growth in the aviation sector.
China is building the largest airport on an artificial island. The new Dalian Jinzhou Bay International Airport is part of the country’s efforts to expand its aviation sector.
It is expected that the airport will serve 80 million passengers per year with 540,000 flights, with the first phase set to open in 2035.
Li Xiang, Chief Engineer of Dalian Airport Construction and Development Co., stated that there were significant challenges in construction due to the “complex geological conditions” of the project.
Dalian Zhoushuizi Airport has been an important transportation hub due to its proximity to Japan and South Korea. The airport has been expanded several times to reach its full capacity.
Since 2003, the city has been studying locations for the new airport. The project is a key part of China’s aviation growth plan.
In addition to the Dalian Jinzhou Bay International Airport, China opened the second Beijing airport, Daxing, in 2019.
