China is adding yet another superlative to
its aviation roster: The world’s largest airport on a man-made island.
From CNN, currently under construction off the
country’s northeast coast, the Dalian Jinzhou Bay International Airport will
eventually cover a 20-square-kilometer (7.7-square-mile) island with four
runways and a 900,000-square-meter (969,000 sq ft) passenger terminal,
according to an airport statement.
Its operators aim to handle 80 million passengers per
year across 540,000 flights, with the first phase due to open in 2035.
