SHANGHAI – Shanghai Pudong Airport's new giant terminal opened yesterday. The new terminal’s 20-million passenger handling capacity is expected to help reduce the airport’s delays and long queues.
The 546,000-sqm wave-shaped building, resembling the wings of a sea gull, doubles both the size and handling capacity of the old airport.
As part of the Shanghai Airport Authority’s (SAA) US$2.8 billion expansion plan started three years ago, the new terminal is expected to match soaring demand, such as an estimated 15 million passengers for the six-month World Expo in 2010.
