"Passengers going to Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, please note that your flight has started boarding. Please present your boarding pass and start boarding from Gate 35 of Shuangliu Airport. I wish you a pleasant journey!"
On January 22, Chengdu Tianfu International Airport ushered in the landing of the first civil airliner. After Sichuan Airlines, a total of five aircraft from Air China, China Eastern Airlines, Xiangpeng, Chengdu Airlines, and China Southern Airlines landed on the first runway of Chengdu Tianfu International Airport at intervals of 5 minutes.
The arrival of six civil aviation aircrafts marks the start of the real flight test at Tianfu Airport. Chengdu civil aviation transportation is about to enter a new pattern of "two-field one" coordinated operation. Chengdu will become China's third dual international hub airport after Beijing and Shanghai. city of.
Peng Qinghua, secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, recently stated that Chengdu Tianfu International Airport will be put into use in the first half of this year and will accelerate the construction of a number of railways and highways. It is understood that Tianfu Airport is positioned as the main hub airport, with a total terminal area of 1.26 million square meters, which can meet the aviation demand of 90 million passengers a year, surpassing Shuangliu International Airport with a total terminal area of 500,000 square meters. Become the largest airport in the Southwest.
The "Chengdu International Aviation Hub Strategic Plan" shows that after completion, Tianfu International Airport will serve the Chengdu-Chongqing world-class airport cluster, covering the domestic and international passenger and cargo route network; Shuangliu Airport will mainly operate domestic business routes, tourist routes, high-altitude routes, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Regional routes no longer assume major international routes.
"Compared with the future needs of urban development in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, air transport is a shortcoming in the western region. The construction of Tianfu International Airport is of great significance to the inland opening and the development of the western region." Member of the Urban Geography Professional Committee of the Chinese Geographical Society Huiming told a reporter from Caijing.
At present, the hardware of Chengdu Tianfu International Airport has basically been completed. After the test flight, it will gradually pass the project acceptance, comprehensive drill, license review and other nodes. It is planned to be put into use before June 30, 2021.
Shuangliu Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world
As the leading city of economic growth in the southwest region and the main airport of an internationally renowned tourist city, Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport has always been under huge passenger pressure.
In 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, the international routes of Beijing and Shanghai will be stagnant, and the passenger throughput of Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport will rank second in the country. The monitoring results of the aviation data service provider Feiyou Technology and the global travel data analysis company Cirium Institute both show that in 2020 Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport ranks among the world's ten busiest airports, ranking eighth in the world in terms of take-offs and landings, and only Guangzhou Baiyun in China Airports in Chengdu, Chengdu Shuangliu and Shenzhen Bao’an are among the top ten in the world. In May 2020, Shuangliu International Airport has become the world's busiest airport for its number of takeoffs and landings.
Before the epidemic, in 2019, Chengdu ranked fourth in the national airport passenger throughput rankings, second only to Beijing Capital Airport, Shanghai Pudong Airport and Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.
In May 2011, Sichuan initiated the site selection for the new Chengdu Airport. After 9 candidate locations were determined and strictly screened, Jianyang Lujia Town stood out. In June 2013, it was officially approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China as the Chengdu New Airport Site. site.
Lujia Town, Jianyang City is located to the east of Chengdu, about 50 kilometers away from Tianfu Square in the city center and close to Chengdu Tianfu New District. Tianfu New District is a national-level new district under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province. In 2019, it completed a regional GDP of 327 billion yuan, and its economic aggregate ranked fifth among the national-level new districts.
After the Chengdu New Airport project was established, in 2016, Jianyang City was managed by Chengdu City, and Chengdu Tianfu International Airport was officially started in Jianyang, becoming a key project of Chengdu's "East Advance" strategic decision-making deployment.
It is understood that Chengdu Tianfu International Airport is China’s largest civil transportation hub airport project planned and constructed in the "13th Five-Year Plan". The airport design adopts double land side and through land side. It will build 2 terminals in the north and south, and 3 runways. And 5 rail lines, after completion, it can meet the annual passenger throughput of 40 million passengers and 320,000 aircraft takeoffs and landings.
Shuangliu International Airport is located in the southwest of Chengdu City, and Tianfu International Airport is located in the Tianfu New District in the southeast of Chengdu. On the one hand, the location of the new airport serves the Tianfu New District and builds a new Tianfu Airport City. On the other hand, it is closer to Chongqing in the east of Chengdu. It will also help to radiate to the east and promote the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Double City Economic Circle, which is linked to Chongqing.
"In recent years, the two cores of Chengdu and Chongqing have a trend of'opposite development'. That is, Chengdu will deploy large-scale infrastructure to the east, and Chongqing will also extend to the west. The flow of passengers, goods, information, and capital between Chengdu and Chongqing The interaction and connection are closer, which will promote the integrated development of the twin-city economic circle." Zong Huiming said.
The construction of land, sea and air three-dimensional transportation is the mainstream development trend of urban transportation planning. Most cities in eastern China rely on the developed inland river network and coastal advantages to build a developed high-speed rail, highway, river transportation, maritime and air transportation linkage, but the western region is subject to inland Regional restrictions, relatively backward in the construction of a three-dimensional transportation network.
Both Chengdu and Chongqing are facing key nodes in industrial transformation and upgrading, and the pressure and demand on air cargo and passenger transportation are rising.
Due to high transportation costs, air freight is mostly high-value-added products, such as high-tech products and products with high demand for timeliness. Although the transportation volume of the aviation industry is much lower than that of sea and land transportation, the value of its transported goods has begun to exceed the value of seaborne goods. Chengdu and Chongqing have entered the late stage of industrialization transformation, upgrading to high-end manufacturing industries, and there is huge potential for air cargo demand. In the process of developing to the tertiary industry, there is room for growth in personnel mobility and business.
As a leader in the western region, although Chengdu is ahead of other western cities in terms of route development and land-air combined transport, it has a horizontal contrast with the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and other coastal cities in eastern China, and its development with Chengdu-Chongqing region. The vertical comparison of future air transport demand is still far behind.
"Compared with rail and water transportation, air transportation is still a shortcoming in the west. The new airport is of great significance to the opening of the inland and the development of the west." Zong Huiming said.
Division of labor between the new airport and Shuangliu
The division of labor between Tianfu International Airport and Shuangliu International Airport, which will soon be put into use, has become the focus of attention.
“In the future, the market capacity of the southwestern region can carry multiple airport clusters. The division of labor within the airport cluster is a huge test for decision makers. If the new airport and Shuangliu Airport can form a clear or characteristic industry division, it will be beneficial Reduce the internal friction caused by the competition between the two airports; on the other hand, it is also necessary to handle the division of labor and cooperation with Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, the second airport and the branch airports in surrounding cities." Zong Huiming said.
Not only Chongqing, but also western capital cities such as Kunming and Xi'an have publicly proposed the goal of building an "international aviation hub" and submitted applications for new airports. Although Chengdu has advantages in the hinterland's economic foundation, industrial structure, and GDP level, there is no obvious difference between these cities and Chengdu in terms of geographic location.
Research in the industry believes that the “two cities and three games” will have a certain impact on Chongqing’s flight passenger flow, and the transition from competition to collaboration requires the two cities to form a coordinated development of scale effects in industrial planning and operational services. The market is bigger." As for the small airports around Chengdu, they will also be affected in the construction of the main and auxiliary networks of the Chengdu Double Airport. They will transform into sub-airports and give more play to their main and auxiliary roles.
The "Chengdu International Aviation Hub Strategic Plan" released in February 2019 proposed that the two airports will adopt the "two-field one" operation model. The final plan clarified the positioning of the two airports on the basis of the plan: Tianfu Airport is the main hub The airport serves the Chengdu-Chongqing world-class airport cluster, covering a wide range of domestic and international passenger and cargo routes; Shuangliu Airport is positioned as a regional aviation hub, mainly operating domestic commercial routes, tourist routes, high-altitude routes, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regional routes.
It is worth noting that all international passenger routes at Shuangliu Airport will be shifted to Tianfu Airport; the international port function will be retained to ensure business aviation business and international alternate flights, and achieve "fast-line and high-quality" operations.
The clear division of labor between the international and domestic routes of the two airports will help improve the level of professionalization of the two airports. Shuangliu Airport focuses on domestic routes and enhances the service capabilities of business express lines; Tianfu International Airport can open up more international routes.
The division of labor between domestic and international routes also comes from the demand for a new pattern of dual circulation at home and abroad.
The battle between civil aviation and high-speed rail has a "watershed" between 800 kilometers and 1,500 kilometers, that is, the advantages of high-speed rail at distances below 800 kilometers are far greater than that of airplanes. 800-1500 kilometers form competitive routes, but after 1,500 kilometers, air transport takes the main advantage. Chengdu is more than 1,500 kilometers away from east, southeast and north of China, and airplanes are the main choice for business people to travel to and from Chengdu.
Internationally, the Chengdu-Chongqing region has the function of building three-dimensional air passages with Europe, ASEAN and Southeast Asia. Chengdu is not along the coast or along the border, but is located in the hinterland of the Asian continent and the middle node of the Eurasian route. It has the advantages of routes and distances from west to Europe, Africa, and West Asia, and south to Southeast Asia.
According to the "One Belt One Road Civil Aviation Development Report 2018" released by Changzhun, the capacity of direct flights from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport to countries along the "Belt and Road" increased by 11.1% year-on-year. 39 articles. At the end of 2019, there were 13 scheduled passenger destinations for direct flights from Chengdu to Europe, covering 12 countries in Central Europe, Western Europe, Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Northern Europe.
Some airlines have adjusted their route layouts in accordance with the positioning of dual airports. Caijing reporter learned from Eastern Airlines that China Eastern Airlines will build more business routes and air express routes connecting large and medium-sized cities in China on the basis of the existing main routes, and add some business boutique routes to meet the travel needs of business travelers. ; The international routes originally deployed at Shuangliu Airport will all be translated to Tianfu International Airport for operation.
In addition to meeting Chengdu's air transportation needs, the general aviation of Tianfu International Airport will also bring Chengdu a huge opportunity for industrial upgrading and a large number of jobs. According to the calculation of the International Airport Association ACI, if the airport adds 1 million passenger traffic every year, 1,000 new jobs will be created.
The air transportation resources gathered at the airport are conducive to Tianfu New District's deep participation in global resource allocation and production capacity division and coordination, especially high-tech industries with high timeliness and high value-added and aviation manufacturing and service-related industries. Chengdu Shuangliu has always had the ambition to become the "China Aviation Economy Capital". In 2020, Chengdu’s "Plan for Building a New 100-billion-level Aviation Manufacturing Industry Cluster" also proposes to complement and strengthen the aviation manufacturing industry chain to form a new 100-billion-level aviation industry. Manufacturing industry clusters.
It is worth mentioning that the existing aviation-related industry foundation in Chengdu is conducive to the rapid start of the airport economy. "After the completion of the new airport, aviation design and development, aircraft manufacturing, maintenance and aviation finance will usher in greater development opportunities." Zong Huiming said.
