BEIJING, March 25 (Xinhua) — Construction of a new aviation hub officially began Wednesday in South China's Guangdong Province, which will become a new aviation hub in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Guangzhou New Airport (Pearl River Delta Hub (Guangzhou New) Airport) is located in the Gaoming District of Foshan, directly at the geographic center of four cities: Foshan, Zhaoqing, Jiangmen, and Yunfu. The new airport is expected to directly serve a population of over 20 million.
The total investment in the project is 41.81 billion yuan (approximately 6.07 billion US dollars). The project will include the construction of two parallel runways with a long distance between them, a terminal building with a construction area of approximately 260,000 square meters, and 94 aircraft parking spaces. The airport is designed to handle 30 million passenger trips, 500,000 tons of cargo and mail, and 260,000 aircraft takeoffs and landings per year.
Existing transportation airports in the Greater Bay Area are mainly located in the eastern part of the Pearl River Delta, so the new airport will become a transportation hub for major cities on the west bank of the Pearl River, according to the Guangdong Airports Corporation.
In 2024, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's GRP ranked among the world's leading coastal urban agglomerations. The combined economic size of this Chinese region is expected to exceed 15 trillion yuan by 2025.
According to data published by seven major airports in the region, airports in the Greater Bay Area demonstrated outstanding performance in 2025, serving over 230 million passengers and handling approximately 9.72 million tons of cargo and mail. These figures confirm the region's status as one of the world's leading air hub clusters.
According to Airports Council International, passenger air travel demand in the Guangzhou-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is expected to reach 420 million passenger trips by 2035. -0-
