China is building the world’s largest artificial island airport at Dalian, a port city in northeastern Liaoning province. The $4.3 billion project intends to replace the existing Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport, which is struggling to manage increasing passenger flow because to limited capacity.
The artificial island airport, which covers around 20.9 square kilometers, will be larger and more ambitious than similar initiatives throughout the world. The airport will be larger than Hong Kong International Airport (12.48 sq km) and Kansai Airport (10.5 sq km), which are both located on manmade islands.
The project incorporates extensive land reclamation methods, with millions of cubic meters of sand and rock utilized to create the artificial island.
Once completed, the airport will boast four runways and a massive 900,000 sqm terminal, spanning approximately 9.69 million square feet.
The terminal will accommodate 43 million passengers annually, more than doubling the existing airport’s capacity. The project is expected to be completed by 2035.
