Expansion project

It is reported that the Hefei Xinqiao International Airport terminal area expansion project was issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of East China on July 13, 2021, and the industry review opinion was issued by the Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission on July 30. Due to the large scale of the project, high investment, and complex project conditions, according to the relevant regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration, the preliminary design and estimate for this review are the first batch of the project. The main contents include: about 35 new T2 terminal buildings. 10,000 square meters and a comprehensive transportation center of 175,200 square meters, supporting the construction of the viaduct in front of the T2 terminal building and the ground transportation system, parking lots, comprehensive pipe corridors, underpasses, and greening of the terminal area. The estimated cost of the project for approval is about 104 100 million yuan.

The reconstruction and expansion of Hefei Airport is mainly based on the rapid growth of Hefei Airport's aviation business volume in recent years. In 2019, the airport passenger throughput reached 12.282 million, a year-on-year increase of 10.55%. The airport has entered a state of overload operation. After the completion of the expansion project of the terminal area of Hefei Xinqiao International Airport, it will meet the airport's annual passenger throughput of 40 million passengers and an annual cargo and mail throughput of 350,000 tons.

Transform into a 4F airport

In addition, in addition to the reconstruction and expansion of the terminal area, the second phase of the Xinqiao Airport project will also build a 3,600-meter long-distance runway on the west side of the current runway, with a flight area index of 4F; a second-class precision approach instrument landing system will be built at the north end of the runway. And lighting system, the southern end of the construction of a class I precision approach instrument landing system and lighting system; construction of two parallel taxiways; construction of a set of south vertical connecting roads; new construction of 36 remote aircraft aprons and 2 cargo planes, supporting construction of drainage Ditch, lighting, fire protection, road inspection and other projects.

It is reported that the flight zone grade index is based on the distance between the wingspan of the largest aircraft used in the airport flight zone and the outer wheel of the main landing gear. More than meters. The second part is the letters, which indicate the wingspan and wheelbase of the aircraft that can take off and land. From A to F, the bigger the back, the airports in the world are divided into A, B, C, D, E, F from small to large. Rank. When Xinqiao Airport is rebuilt and expanded to 4F, it means that all large aircraft in the world, including Airbus A380, can be taken off and landed. Editor/He Yuting
