The Dalian Jinzhou Bay International Airport will be the largest airport on an artificial island upon completion. China seeks growth in the aviation sector.
China is building the largest airport on an artificial island. The Dalian Jinzhou Bay International Airport aims to expand the country’s aviation sector.
The expectation is to serve 80 million passengers per year on 540,000 flights, with the first phase scheduled to open in 2035.
Li Xiang, chief engineer of Dalian Airport Construction and Development Co., said that there have been major challenges in construction due to the project’s “complex geological conditions.”
The Dalian Zhoushuizi Airport, located in the city of Dalian, has been an important transportation hub due to its proximity to Japan and South Korea. It has been expanded several times to reach its maximum capacity.
Since 2003, the city has been studying locations to build 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 Beijing’s second airport, Daxing, in 2019.
