Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport is an international airport serving the city of Xiamen in East China’s Fujian province. It is the main base of XiamenAir and TAECO, an aircraft maintenance provider. The airport is located on the north side of Xiamen Island. Construction of a new terminal (Terminal 4) started in October 2011 and was completed in 2014.[1]
In 2012, Xiamen airport was the 8th busiest airport in China in terms of cargo traffic, and the 11th busiest in terms of passenger traffic with 17,354,076 passengers and the 10th busiest airport by traffic movements.
KLM began the first intercontinental air route out of Xiamen, to Amsterdam, on 27 March 2011.[2] Since then, long-haul traffic has expanded, with XiamenAir launching flights to Sydney, Vancouver and Los Angeles after taking delivery of the Boeing 787.
Following the opening of Terminal 4 in 2014, Gaoqi airport had little room to expand. As such, a new airport is currently under construction on Dadeng Island, Xiang'an District, currently known as Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport. When completed it will have two new runways, a 550,000 sq meter terminal, and be able to handle up to 45 million passengers, and have subway links to Xiamen railway station.[3] [4]
