Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport
Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (IATA: XMN, ICAO: ZSAM) is the airport serving the city of Xiamen in Fujian Province, China. 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.
Development
New destinations
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.
New airport
As the city of Xiamen continues to grow, Gaoqi Airport has little room to expand after the latest completion of terminal 4 in 2014. A new airport is currently under construction on Dadeng Island, Xiang’an District, currently known as Xiamen Xiang’an International Airport and scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025. When completed it will boast two new runways, a 550,000 sq meter terminal, and be able to handle up to 45 million passengers, and have subway transport links to Xiamen railway station.[3][4]
