Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport will officially implement the transfer operation at 00:00 on August 12 while Qingdao Liuting International Airport will be closed at the same time.

In the age of globalization, the value of an international aviation hub to the development of a city cannot be overstated.

This new airport not only opens a new chapter of development for the iterative upgrading of Qingdao's aviation industry, but also opens up a new imagination for the future of this modern international metropolis.[Photo/qbguanxiangshan]

It is a stylish and modern airport. The 'starfish-shaped' terminal building is characterized by a continuous curved surface that integrates the five concourses with the lobby. The convenient transit process and the shortest possible transit time solve the problems of the increasing size of new airports, the complexity of the system and the long walking distances.

It is still a new sample of an 'all-access' transportation hub. The most important feature of Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport is the combination of the airport station with high-speed rail and subway, which realizes zero interchange of air, rail and high-speed rail transportation modes and forms a comprehensive transportation hub of air and land.

Nowadays, the airport has transformed from a simple transportation hub to an urban economic complex, becoming an international communication center, a business center, a high-end passenger import center and even a city resource allocation center.[Photo/qbguanxiangshan]

Under the fierce competition of hub airports, Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport will build an open route network to "communicate with the north and south, radiate the west, face Japan and Korea, and connect with the world", which will help Qingdao build an international comprehensive transportation hub city and compete on the urban race track.

It is expected that by 2025, the first phase of Jiaodong International Airport can meet the demand of 35 million passengers, 500,000 tons of cargo and mail throughput and 300,000 aircraft movements.[Photo/qbguanxiangshan]

Looking ahead, it will anchor itself as a world-class international hub airport in Northeast Asia. In addition, the new airport will lead Qingdao, the 'Island of Youth', to leap to a higher level of development, opening a new "window of opportunity" for this open, modern, dynamic and fashionable city!
