Scheduled for completion by 2035, this ambitious project spans an area exceeding that of Hong Kong International Airport and Japan’s Kansai International Airport, highlighting China’s dedication to strengthening its connectivity and bolstering its economic influence.
Dalian has long been a pivotal economic centre in northeast China, with a port that serves as a trade gateway to the Pacific. The introduction of Jinzhouwan, or Jinzhou Bay, airport could facilitate a seamless integration of air and sea logistics. This multimodal connectivity is likely to attract investment and stimulate growth in industries such as manufacturing, logistics and tourism.
China has in recent years grown to become one of the world’s largest air travel markets, alongside the US. Jinzhouwan airport aligns with this growth, offering a state-of-the-art facility capable of handling the surge in passenger and cargo volumes.
