Sanxia Airport Terminal One upgrade is on track

Yichang City’s Sanxia Airport Terminal 1 is expected to complete its upgrade by the end of this year and become an international airport terminal by March 2023.

By now, 70 percent of the work has been completed and the special grid roof structure as well as the electronic and mechanical systems have been installed. Terminal1 upgrading is part of the second phase of Sanxia Airport expansion project, which included the expansion of terminal complex and airfield area, among others. Once the second phase expansion is completed, Yichang Sanxia Airport will have its floor space expanded to 73,800 square meters from the previous 14,800 square meters and have 21 boarding gates, more than doubling its current 11.

The opening of Terminal One will make Yichang the second city in Hubei Province to own an international airport besides the capital city of Wuhan.
