History

Plans for a new airport for Chengdu were in place since 2007.[4] In May 2011, officials confirmed the planning process for selecting a location had started.[5] In June 2013, the Civil Aviation Administration of China officially confirmed and approved Jianyang's Lujia Town as the location for the new airport.[6]

In January 2015, the State Council and Central Military Commission approved the new airport project,[7] and the official name Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (Chinese: 成都天府国际机场) was finalised by the Civil Aviation Administration of China in September 2015.[8][9]

In January 2021, flight testing was done[10][11] and on 27 June 2021, the first commercial flight departed from the airport.[12]

Design

The airport is intended to become the third-largest airport hub in China, after Beijing and Shanghai. The airport opened with three runways (two north-south and one east-west) with two terminals with a capacity of 60 million passengers per year by 2025 and a cargo capacity of 24.45 thousand tonnes.[13]^{[clarification needed]}

The full plan includes six runways and four terminals with capacity to handle 90 million passengers per year.[14] On June 1, 2015, the Sichuan Provincial Airport Group announced a general design scheme for the airport. The winning design was by China Southwest Architectural Design and Research Institute, China Airport Construction Group Corporation, and French architectural firm ADP Ingenierie.

The airport features two terminal buildings in the shape of the mythical Sunbird, used as a logo for the city of Chengdu. From a central hollow circular core, 6 arms radiate outwards with both terminals mirroring the other.[15]

Tianfu airport is a major base for Air China. The flag carrier operates maintenance facilities, a 1,500 bed staff hostel and a 2,950 m² (31,800 sq ft) lounge at the airport.[13] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the airport currently does not operate international flights as of June 2021.[16] However, it is planned for Tianfu Airport to take over most international and cargo routes from Shuangliu Airport, the latter specializing in domestic flights.[17]
