The construction project will feature 4 runways, a 900 square meter terminal and will handle 1 million tons of cargo annually, positioning Dalian as the largest air hub in Northeast Asia by 2035.
China, famous for its ambitious projects, has just announced an audacious plan: the construction of the world’s largest airport on an artificial island, with a staggering budget of 4 billion euros. This project promises not only to transform global air transport, but also to set new standards in innovation and connectivity.
Located in the northeastern coastal city of Dalian, Jinzhouwan International Airport it will be a monumental work, designed to receive up to 80 million passengers per year. But what makes this project so special? Let's explore every detail.
Features and dimensions of Jinzhouwan International Airport
With a terminal covering 900.000 square meters, equivalent to 9,69 million square feet, Jinzhouwan International Airport will be an infrastructure giant. To meet the growing demand, the project will feature four independent runways, which will ensure efficiency and safety even in adverse weather conditions.

The airport is strategically designed to be expandable. Initially, it will be able to handle 43 million passengers per year, but this capacity is expected to double in a short time. It’s like building an entire city focused on aviation!
Dalian's strategic role in regional aviation
Dalian, with its privileged location, is already a prominent city in the Northeast Asian economy. Its proximity to Japan and South Korea strengthens trade and tourism relations, and the new airport will be the engine that will further boost this connectivity.
The city is known for its oil refining, transportation and logistics industries, but it is now poised to become one of the region’s largest air transport hubs. It’s like adding wings to an already established economic giant.
Innovative and sustainable solutions in construction
One of the major challenges of the project was the mountainous terrain surrounding the former Dalian Airport. As a result, the choice of an artificial island was a bold but effective solution. Land reclamation and deep soil treatment allowed the construction of a stable base for the gigantic infrastructure.
In addition to solving geographical problems, the project also focuses on sustainable technologies, minimizing environmental impacts and optimizing the use of resources. This demonstrates how innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand.
Economic and social impacts of the MEGAPROJECT
The new airport will not only be an engineering feat; it will also have significant impacts on the economy and society. The creation of jobs during construction and operation will be one of the major legacies. The expansion of tourism and the creation of new trade routes are expected to further boost Dalian’s economy.
Think of it like a game of dominoes: each domino that moves influences several others. The airport will be a catalyst for new businesses, attracting investment and connecting people from all over the world.
The future of aviation in China and its ambitious plans
This megaproject is just one piece of the Chinese aviation puzzle. With a goal of building 450 civil airports by 2035, China is investing heavily to meet the growing demand for air transport. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the country will handle more than 2 billion passengers annually by 2035.
The new airports will not only decongest existing hubs, but also democratize access to air transport in more remote regions. It is as if China is drawing a completely new map for aviation.
Jinzhouwan International Airport is a symbol of power China's role in shaping the future. It represents a milestone in the history of construction, connectivity and economic development, not only for Dalian, but for the world.
Hence the misleading propaganda of the Global South disqualifying the way of life and infrastructure of the BRICS+ member countries, trying at all costs to instill in the **** that China is a country of outdated customs and way of life.
