8 Parking stands Newly Built in Taoxian Airport Capable of Accommodating the A380

In October, as part of the third phase of the construction project at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport (Taoxian Airport for short), the apron expansion project has smoothly passed the civil aviation industrial acceptance test and would be put into operation. Formerly, the airport’s lack of apron resources will now be effectively eased and the supporting capability of this airport will be promoted. The civil aviation industrial experts were divided to the road group, the lighting group, the public security group and the file group and the four acceptance groups carried out the acceptance test against Taoxian Airport’s apron expansion project (interim). At last, the acceptance test team believed this project complies with the regulatory requirements of the state and the civil aviation industry. The main equipments of the project had been fixed and debugged to meet the operational and safe production requirements of the airport. All preparation work regarding operation had been mostly fulfilled. In principle, the acceptance test team agreed that the project passed the civil aviation industrial acceptance test. Currently, there are 39 parking Stands in Taoxian Airport. After the 8 newly built parking stands are put into use, the amount of parking stands in Taoxian Airport will reach 47. The fourth quarter is the passenger transport peak stage. Now the apron expansion project has passed the civil aviation industrial acceptance test and when it is put into use, the current problem of the airport being short of apron resources will be effectively eased and the support ability of the airport will be promoted. Furthermore, it will play a positive role in reaching the final goal, that is, to be capable of a passenger throughput volume that reaches more than 10 million by the end of 2011.
