The start of the test flight of the real machine marked a big step forward for the airport to start operations.
Chengdu Tianfu International Airport is the largest civil transportation airport planned and constructed during my country's "13th Five-Year Plan" period. It is planned to be put into use before June 30 this year.
According to data released by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, in the past five years, 43 transportation airports have been built or relocated nationwide, the number of certified transportation airports has increased to 241, 41 new runways, 5.88 million square meters of terminal buildings, and 2,300 aircraft seats have been added. , The newly designed capacity of the airport is about 400 million passengers, with a total capacity of 1.4 billion passengers.
During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, regional hub airports developed rapidly, with 39 airports in the tens of millions in the country; the passenger throughput of central and western airports increased by 55.7%, which was 7.9% faster than the national growth rate; the passenger throughput of regional airports increased by 123.7%. Faster than the national growth rate by 76.9 percentage points; general aviation business volume has an average annual growth rate of 13.7%, and the number of general airports exceeds that of transportation airports.
At the same time, the airport service level has been continuously improved.
At present, 233 airports have realized paperless and convenient travel for domestic flights. Domestic passengers at tens of millions of airports account for more than 70% of self-service check-in, and passenger queuing time has been greatly reduced; in the situation of tight airspace resources, complex operating environment, and frequent extreme weather The flight regularity rate has exceeded 80% for three consecutive years and will reach 88.52% in 2020, which is an increase of 20% from the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period; airport catering has basically achieved “same quality and same price in the same city”.
"This is the five years with the best civil aviation safety record, the largest increase in development, and the continuous enhancement of the industry's strategic position and role." said Feng Zhenglin, the director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the entire industry has achieved the 10th anniversary of safe transportation aviation; The total mileage of national air routes reached 237,000 kilometers, an increase of 38,000 kilometers over the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan"; in 2019, civil aviation passenger turnover accounted for 33.1% of the national comprehensive transportation system.

The average normal rate of clearance and the normal rate of departure flights at airports above 10,000 class reached 85%; the construction of the airport transportation management committee was continuously strengthened to improve the level of coordinated operation.
