China Approves New International Airport in Guangdong

Beijing has introduced new services at its airports, including a multi-functional card for foreigners to enhance their travel experience. Meanwhile, China is set to construct the Dalian Jinzhou Bay International Airport, which will become the world's largest artificial island airport, covering 20 square kilometers and expected to handle 80 million passengers annually by 2035. Additionally, the State Council has approved the Pearl River Delta Hub (Guangzhou New) Airport in Guangdong, aimed at alleviating congestion and enhancing cargo capacity, with projections of 30 million passengers by 2035 and 2.2 million tonnes of cargo by 2050. This new airport will serve cities west of Guangzhou, redirecting traffic from existing airports in the Pearl River Delta. Construction for the Pearl River Delta Hub has already begun, aligning with China's plan to expand its aviation infrastructure as it aims to surpass the U.S. as the largest air travel market.
