Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport

Covering an area of 26.4 square kilometers (10.19 square miles) before expansion, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (IATA Code: SHA) is about 13 km (8.08 miles) from downtown Shanghai, and 40 km (24.85 miles) from Pudong International Airport. As one of the biggest international aviation hubs in China, Hongqiao Airport has 2 runways, 2 passenger terminals, and handles 40 million passengers annually. Terminal Building 1 is 82,000 square meters (98,071 square yards), consisting of two lounge buildings. The newly built Terminal Building 2 covers an area of 362,600 square meters (433,665 square yards). The flights of Shanghai under the 18 airlines located in the two terminal buildings can reach 91 cities at home and abroad.

The expansion project started in 2006 and finished at the end of 2009. The project aims to make Hongqiao Airport a Green Airport. It adopts energy-saving techniques such as natural light and ventilation systems, and operates a rain recycling system which uses the recycled water to clean the airport and water the lawns.
