General Introduction
The Xi'an Xianyang International Airport terminal expansion project began in 2001. The airport is located in the outskirts of Xi'an City, Shaanxi and was opened in 1991. The rapid growth in air traffic in north western China has led it to require further investment. Xi'an Xianyang airport will see its airport terminal building expanded with new investment buying boarding bridges, air conditioning equipment, and other passenger terminal building equipment.
The rationale of the project is to service the extremely rapid growth in air traffic (both passengers and cargoes) within north western China. This follows the rapid economic growth seen after the early 1980s economic liberalization reforms. During the 1980s, air passenger numbers grew at a rate of 18% a year while the figure for cargoes was 15%. The 1990s saw an even higher rate of growth, which continued despite the economic problems of East Asia after 1997.
Xi'an Xianyang International Airport itself has seen its passenger numbers mount with alacrity. In 1998, it saw more than 2.8 million people use the airport. This was well ahead of the predictions for 2000 of 2.4 million passengers.
