Largest airport terminal in NW China put into operation
( 2003-09-18 16:08) (Agencies)

The new terminal of Xi'an Xianyang International Airport, the largest and most advanced airport in northwestern China, went into operation Thursday.

With a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan (181 million US dollars), the work on the airport's expansion began in 2000, including a terminal of 80,000 square meters, an apron of 240,000 square meters, a parking lot of 38,000 square meters, and water, electricity and heat supply and other infrastructure facilities.

The airport went into operation in 1991, with a designed capacity of handling two million passengers annually. But the capacity has been failed to meet demand for almost 10 years with the rapid economic development in the region.

The airport now is capable of handling 10 million passengers and 130,000 tons of cargo annually. Enditem nnnn
