A few days ago, a reporter from Daonet learned from Hainan Airport Group, a subsidiary of Hainan Holdings, that the Master Plan of Sanya Phoenix International Airport has been approved by Civil Aviation Administration of China. At present, various preliminary preparations are being made in an orderly and powerful way. The third phase reconstruction and expansion project of Sanya Phoenix International Airport will start at the end of November 2023.

Since its opening, Phoenix Airport has played an important role in the development of Sanya and its surrounding areas. Its passenger throughput has exceeded 20 million person times in 2018, making it the first airport in China to join the "20 million club" in a non provincial Prefecture-level city.

Based on the new stage of construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, the demand for civil aviation transportation in Hainan has been improving for a long time. As an important regional aviation hub and large international airport in the southern airport cluster of China, Phoenix Airport has become increasingly prominent due to the construction of the Hainan International Tourism Consumption Center and the continuous heating up of the Sanya coastal tourism boom. Moreover, due to the airport being surrounded by cities, it no longer has the practical conditions for adding runways.

According to the planning revision, Phoenix Airport will plan to build a new T3 terminal on the west side of the current international terminal. It is expected to be completed and put into use by the end of 2025, which can meet the annual passenger throughput demand of 18 million people. With the existing terminal, Phoenix Airport can meet the annual aircraft takeoff and landing of 173000 aircraft and the annual passenger throughput demand of 30 million people.

At the same time, after the completion of the third phase of Phoenix Airport, it can also meet the demand for an annual cargo throughput of 450000 tons, and a series of optimization has been carried out on Taxiway, parking stands, integrated transportation hubs, etc. (Please indicate www.seetao. com when reprinted) Editor of the engineering column of seetao. com/Zhao E
