History

The Qionghai airport was built to facilitate travel to the Boao Forum for Asia, an annual political event held 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away in Boao.[4][5] The airport also serves rising tourism to the province of Hainan.[5] A feasibility study on the airport was approved by government officials in December 2012,[6] followed by the master plan in May 2013.[7] A groundbreaking ceremony was held on 17 March 2015.[4]

After a test flight in March 2016,[8] the airport received its first commercial flight – a Hainan Airlines Boeing 737 from Beijing – on 17 March 2016.[9] For a short period thereafter, the airport remained open to domestic charter flights carrying Boao Forum attendees.[10][11] After the forum, the Qionghai airport closed so that a new international terminal and a 600-metre (2,000 ft) runway extension could be completed before the next forum. The airport reopened on 29 December 2016, receiving an Air Guilin flight from Guilin.[11]

Facilities

Qionghai Airport has a 3,200-meter runway capable of handling large jet aircraft, a 9,000 square-meter terminal building, and 26 aircraft parking aprons. It is designed to handle 480,000 passengers and 1,440 tons of cargo annually by 2020.[1][2]
