斥巨资百亿元　海南省扩建海口美兰机场

为加快国际旅游岛建设，2013年至2017年海南省将投资130.47亿元，加快海口美兰国际机场二期工程建设，预计建成后，可满足年旅客吞吐量3000万人次、货邮吞吐量30万吨、飞机起降22.5万架次的需求。

海口美兰国际机场现有基础设施仅能满足年旅客吞吐量800万人次的需求，而随着航空业务量的快速增长，至2011年底机场年旅客吞吐量已达1016.78万人次，机场各项基础设施已趋于超负荷运行，一定程度上影响了海南经济社会的发展。

新建的北飞行区技术指标为4F类，包括一条长3600米、宽60米的跑道及2条等长的平行滑行道，同时将新建45个机位的站坪和停机坪、29万平方米T2航站楼及相应辅助配套设施。新建各项设施规模是现有设施规模的1倍至3倍。

该项目已于2012年3月获得国家发改委批准立项，目前航站楼方案正在进行深化设计，预计2013年将完成投资2亿元，完成项目预征土地1000亩等先期工作。

The Hainan Government has made the decision to invest about 13 billion yuan toward the construction of the second phase of the expansion project at the Haikou Meilan International Airport for the purpose of accelerating the development of the HAINAN International Tourism Island. Once that phase of the project is completed, officials expect the Meilan Airport to be capable of accommodating an annual volume of 30 million passengers, 300 thousand tons of mail and cargo, and 225 thousand flight sorties.

The current infrastructure at the Meilan Airport is considered to have a maximum design capacity of 8 million passengers. However, the current volume of the various kinds of business at that facility has grown rapidly, reaching a total passenger count of 10.2 million by the end of year 2011, causing that airport facility to reach an operation overload situation, which has somewhat impaired the future economic and social developments of the Hainan province.

Once completed, a 4F reference code will be assigned to the northern portion of the aircraft movement area. That project includes a runway of 3,600 meters long, and 60 meters wide, two taxiways of the same length as the runway, an apron including 45 gate positions, a ramp, a new second terminal of 290 thousand square meters, and coordinated supporting facilities, thereby tripling the overall size of that airport facility.

This airport project was approved by the NDRC in March, 2012, and the terminal program is currently undergoing a more advanced design. It is predicted that 200 million yuan will be invested for the purchase of the land, and 1,000 Chinese mu will be used for the purpose of completing this airport project during the year 2013.
