AKESU Airport formally kicked off its urban terminal project in early April. Mr. Zixin Duan, General Manager of the Xinjiang Airport Group, Mr. Guofei Gao, Secrectary of Akesu Municipal Committee of the CPC, along with some other officers, cut the ribbon at the commencement ceremony, as more than 100 people attended, including some members from the Standing Committee of the CPC AKESU Municipal Committee, and staff from each of those entities.

AKESU Airport's urban terminal will be located in AKESU south of Shuiyun Road, at a total investment of nearly 446 million yuan. When completed, this new terminal will cover just over 19 thousand square meters of land, and provide 55 thousand square meters of usable floor-space. There will be a frame structure multi-use consisting of 22 floors above ground, and 2 floors below ground. There will also be a side building having 6 floors above ground. The total project is expected to be completed by December, 2014, and fully operational by 2015.

Once that urban terminal project has been completed for the AKESU Airport, the downtown service, and the airport service will be connected, creating a greatly improved capacity, performance, and development of that airport’s transportation industry. This accomplishment should also improve the future of flight delays and flight cancelations.
