Shanghai Pudong International Airport (Template:Comma separated entries) is one of the two international airports serving Shanghai, China.

Pudong Airport serves both international flights and a smaller number of domestic flights, while the city's other major airport, Shanghai–Hongqiao, mainly serves domestic and regional flights in East Asia. Located about Script error: No such module "convert". east of the city center, Pudong Airport occupies a Script error: No such module "convert". site adjacent to the coastline in eastern Pudong. The airport is operated by Shanghai Airport Authority.

The airport is the main hub for China Eastern Airlines and Shanghai Airlines, and a major international hub for Air China, as well as a secondary hub for China Southern Airlines. It is also the hub for privately owned Juneyao Air and Spring Airlines, and an Asia-Pacific cargo hub for FedEx, UPS[1] and DHL. The DHL hub, opened in July 2012, is reportedly the largest express hub in Asia.[2]

Pudong Airport had two main passenger terminals, flanked on both sides by four operational parallel runways.[3] A third passenger terminal was started in 2021, in addition to a satellite terminal and two additional runways, which will raise its annual capacity from 60 million passengers to 80 million, along with the ability to handle six million tons of freight.[4]

Pudong Airport is a fast-growing hub for both passenger and cargo traffic. With 3,778,331 metric tons handled in 2024, the airport is the world's second-busiest airport by cargo traffic. Pudong Airport also served a total of 76,787,039 passengers in 2024, making it the busiest airport in China, fourth-busiest in Asia, and the tenth-busiest in the world.[5][6] It is also the busiest international gateway of mainland China, with 35.25 million international passengers.[7]

Shanghai Pudong is the busiest international hub in China, and about half of its total passenger traffic is international.[8] Pudong Airport is connected to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport by Shanghai Metro Line 2, the Shanghai Maglev Train via Pudong Airport Terminal 1&2 station and the Airport Link Line (Shanghai Suburban Railway).[9] There are also airport buses connecting it with the rest of the city.

History

Early development

Construction of the first phase of the new Shanghai Pudong International Airport began in October 1997, took two years to build at a cost of RMB 12 billion (US$1.67 billion), and was officially opened on 1 October 1999 and it replaced Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport as Shanghai's primary airport which was the city’s only commercial airport until the completion of Pudong International Airport. Most international flights were gradually moved to Pudong after its opening.[10]

A second runway was opened on 17 March 2005,[11] and construction of phase two (including a second terminal, a third runway and a cargo terminal) began in December 2005 and started operation on 26 March 2008, in time for the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics.

In November 2011, Pudong Airport received approval from the national government for a new round of expansion which includes two runways. The Script error: No such module "convert". fourth runway, along with an auxiliary taxiway and traffic control facilities, is projected to cost 2.58 billion yuan (US$403 million). The Script error: No such module "convert". fifth runway, along with a new traffic tower, will cost 4.65 billion yuan (US$726.6 million). Construction was completed in 2015 and has doubled the capacity of the airport.[12][13]

Ongoing expansion

Pudong International Airport officially started the third phase of the Pudong International Airport expansion with the construction on a new south satellite terminal on 29 December 2015. The new satellite terminal will be the world's largest single satellite terminal with a total construction area of Script error: No such module "convert"., which is larger than the Pudong International Airport T2 terminal building (Script error: No such module "convert".). The satellite terminal is composed of two halls, S1 and S2, forming an H-shaped structure. It will have an annual design capacity of 38 million passengers, The total cost of the project is estimated to be about 20.6 billion yuan. Halls S1 and S2 will have 83 gates.[14] A high capacity people mover connecting T1 to S1 and T2 to S2 will be constructed. After the completion of the satellite terminal in 2019, Pudong International Airport will have an annual passenger capacity of 80 million passengers, ranking among the top ten airports in the world by capacity.[15]

As of October 2019, the satellite terminal is in operation and connected by people movers to the main Terminals 1 and 2.

By 6 January 2021, work on Pudong Airport T3 began on the south side of the airfield. The new terminal is anticipated to serve 50 million annual passengers when it opens according to city officials, while the entire airport is expected to have 130 million passengers by 2030. Several public transport lines will be extended to T3.[16]

Facilities

Terminal 1 was opened to public and officially opened on 1 October 1999 along with a Script error: No such module "convert". runway and a cargo hub.[17]

Terminal 2 was officially opened to the public on 26 March 2008 along with the third runway, making the entire airport capable of handling 60 million passengers and 4.2 million tons of cargo annually. Terminal 2 is shaped like Terminal 1, although it more closely resembles a wave, and is slightly larger than Terminal 1. Terminal 2 also has more floor areas than Terminal 1. Terminal 2 is primarily used by Air China and other Star Alliance members.[18]

Construction on an additional satellite concourse facility to accommodate further gates and terminal space started on 29 December 2015 and officially opened in September 2019.[19] It is the largest stand-alone satellite airport terminal buildings in the world at Script error: No such module "convert"..[20]

The satellite terminals (S1 and S2) are connected to the main terminals (T1 and T2) by the Shanghai Pudong Airport automatic people mover, an underground automated metro system.[21][22] The West line connects terminals T1 and S1, and the East line connects terminals T2 and S2.

The airport has been using the Airport Collaborative Decision Making system (A-CDM) developed by the aviation data service company VariFlight since January 2017. The system is aimed to improve on-time performance and safety of the airport's operations. By June 2017, Shanghai Pudong airport recorded 62.7% punctuality rate, which was a 15% increase compared to the same period previous year.[23]
