Alternate airports chosen for Games

The Northeast Regional Administration (NRA) of the Civil Aviation Administration of China has chosen Changchun, Dalian and Harbin airports as alternate airports for the Olympic Games to ensure the efficient operation of flights. The three airports will support the operations of the airports in Beijing and Shenyang, two of the host cities of the Games. The NRA also established an office at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport. The Shenyang civil aviation unit has started its English training project for airport and airline personnel in preparation for the Games. The personnel will also be trained in the different customs of participating countries and regions, etiquette and service skills. The Shenyang airport terminal building will be upgraded to adjust access for the disabled, parking, and departure and arrival procedures. In June, civil aviation units will conduct a series of Olympic Games service simulation drills, including safety and security, air traffic control and airport operations.
