Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport located in Lanzhou City, capital of northwest China's Gansu Province, put its third phase project into operation on Sunday, which will further promote the city's opening-up and economic development.
The upgrading project involves the construction of two new airstrips, terminal 3 covering 400,000 square meters, and a 270,000-square-meter comprehensive transportation hub.
The terminal 3 will officially open to passengers on March 20 and by that time, all domestic and international flights, as well as flights to and from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan at the airport will be moved to T3 for operation.
The project is estimated to have an annual passenger throughput of 38 million, and an annual cargo and mail throughput of 300,000 tonnes. Besides, it expects to see 300,000 aircraft take-offs and landings annually.
The completion of the project will inject new momentum into the efforts of Lanzhou and Gansu as well to expand their high-level opening-up and promote local high-quality economic development.
