Online Edition
SHANGHAI Airport Authority today began inviting bid for the construction of an underground subway to connect the two terminal buildings with new satellite terminals at the Pudong International Airport.
The subway system will include the west line to link Pudong airport’s Terminal 1 with Satellite 1 and the east line to connect T2 and S2, according to the authority.
Four stations will be set up along the lines at the four terminal buildings. Constructions on the subway project will be completed by the end of 2018.
Construction is scheduled to begin in November on the two satellite terminal buildings to cover a total of 500,000-square-meters at the Pudong airport to cap the increasing number of airport to take off and land. The satellite terminals will be completed and open by 2019.
Passengers will check in at one of the two existing terminal buildings and then take the subway to get to the new facility, Li Derun, president of the Shanghai Airport Authority has said.
With 119 departure gates, the third terminal will be the largest of its kind in the world when it opens, the airport authority has said.
By 2020, with renovations and new additions, Pudong airport will be able to handle 80 million passengers and 4.7 million tons of cargo per year.
