With the completion and opening of Jiaodong International Airport, Qingdao will comprehensively improve the global accessibility of its routes and reverse the shortage of international routes and all-cargo routes within 2 years of the airport transfer. By 2025, it can meet the annual passenger throughput of 35 million passengers, cargo and mail throughput of 500,000 tons, and aircraft landings and takeoffs of 29.8 million sorties.

By then, the international function and hub status of Jiaodong International Airport will be further enhanced, and its status as an international aviation hub in Northeast Asia facing the world will be basically established. It will become an international hub airport with a global route network, convenient and efficient transit connection, sound service and guarantee function, and outstanding market competition ability.

In the future, Jiaodong International Airport will also plan to build 2 closely spaced runways, with a terminal area of 700,000 square meters, which can meet the annual passenger throughput of 55 million, terminal 60 million, cargo and mail throughput of 1 million tons, and aircraft takeoff and landing of 45.2 million security needs.

The new airport can not only increase route and expand the scale but also communicate Jiaodong and radiate the peninsula. Therefore, it will become a Double Hub for communication between land and air after its opening, further polishing Qingdao's business card as an international gateway. Moreover, It will provide a new growth pole for the economic development of Qingdao and the Jiaodong City Group. (By Fanying)
