Project Background
In June 2019, Xiamen New Airport was approved by the State Council and the National Development and Reform Commission, kicking off a new round of comprehensive development and construction. As an important regional integrated transportation hub and a major airport for exchanges with Taiwan, Xiamen New Airport Area will become an important engine to drive regional development, taking the lead in regional upgrading and development.
Xiamen Municipality has included the construction of Xiamen New Airport in key projects of the strategic Belt and Road Initiative. Xiamen is located at the eastern end of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, covering most parts of East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia within its 3,000km aviation radius and enjoying unique advantages in ports, trade, investment, overseas Chinese, culture, history and people-to-people exchanges, etc. Xiamen New Airport will serve as a regional hub and an important gateway airport. The construction of the new airport area will contribute to the connectivity and common prosperity of China and Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Indian Ocean, further facilitating the implementation of China’s open-up strategy and the building of a strategic pivot city of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road.
The new airport area, as a regional integrated transportation hub and economic & cultural center, is sited 1 hour away from the urban core of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou and 2.5 hours away from all areas of the three central cities of Haixi Economic Zone, i.e., Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. The construction and operation of Xiamen New Airport will promote the joint development of infrastructure and industries etc. in the three central cities.
As China’s important port for foreign trade and window for opening up, Xiamen is tasked with multiple reform missions such as the Special Economic Zone, and the Pilot Free Trade Zone. Xiamen Special Economic Zone, established for Taiwan, focuses on Taiwan-related initiatives, which is not only an important historical mission entrusted by the Central Government, but also a major advantage and potential for Xiamen's development. Xiamen New Airport, as a major airport for cross-strait exchanges, will be developed into an important carrier for cultural exchanges and coordinated development between Fujian and Taiwan in the future, further promoting cross-strait cultural exchanges and integration, and driving cross-strait industrial cooperation and common prosperity.
Project Location
Xiamen New Airport Area is sited at the southernmost tip of Xiang 'an District, Xiamen, about 25km away from downtown Xiamen, 44km away from downtown Quanzhou, 72km away from downtown Zhangzhou, and 5km away from Jinmen Island. It is an important node on the urban development belt around Xiamen Bay Area.
