Chengdu to Build 11 Billion Dollar New Airport

(CRI) Regulatory approvals have been given to build a new 11-billion-dollar airport in Sichuan's capital, Chengdu.

The new airport in Southwest China is scheduled to be completed by 2025.

The new Chengdu airport is going to have three runways, and should be able to handle 40 million passengers per year.

Chengdu's existing International Airport, built in 1938, is already the 5th busiest airport in the country, behind only Beijing, the two airports in Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Some 37-million people flew in and out of the Shuangliu Airport last year.
