Updated: 2017-02-22

Terminals, hangars, runways, taxiways and aircraft stands of the Zhuhai General Aviation Airport in Lianzhou Town of Doumen District are being constructed for opening early next year.

This will be the city’s second airport following Zhuhai (Jinwan) Airport to be constructed and operated by Zhuhai Aviation Industrial Development Group, the city’s only state-owned enterprise mainly engaged in air transportation, general aviation operation and manufacturing, and development of Zhuhai Aviation Industrial Park.

According to a spokesperson for Zhuhai General Aviation Airport Investment & Construction Co, this new endeavor is the only general aviation airport under construction in Guangdong Province.

The airport will become a domestic demonstration site with an industrial layout of “one core and four areas.” The core area includes the flying zone and the eastern land parcel, with sections for General-Purpose Aircraft Assembly; General Aviation Display; Maintenance, Repair & Operations (MRO); Terminal; China General Aviation Corporation; Fixed-Base Operator (FBO); and Helicopters and Corporate Aircraft from north to south.

The four areas around the core aim to extend the general aviation operation industrial chain, including manufacture, support services, businesses, and extension areas. The GA airport designation is used for civil aviation operations such as scenic spot sightseeing, flight displays, aerial photography, aerial surveys, pesticide spraying, and other special flight tasks, which are generally undertaken by light aircraft and helicopters.

Relying on Zhuhai General Airport, Yangjiang’s Heshan Airport, flight service stations, temporary takeoff and landing strips, and the Zhuhai-Yangjiang-Luoding low-altitude air route, whole-airplane research and development, parts production, general aviation exhibition and maintenance guarantees will be developed in surrounding areas. These will focus on flight training, emergency rescue as well as tour and sightseeing, the spokesperson revealed.
