[CN-0001] "Thank god it closed" by Anonymous Flier

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:09:43 -0500

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Old Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, China:

Good thing that old airport closed. It was too small, difficult approach, and short runway. It couldn't be expanded because of building surrounding the airport. So it was replaced by the new airport in 2004 and is following a similar fate as Kai Tak Airport, to be redeveloped into something else. And have any pictures of the passenger terminal and facilities?

[ZWAX] "Warning!" by thesis

Sat, 12 Mar 2011 14:23:54 -0500

Comment by @thesis on Alashankou Bole (Bortala) airport, China:

As I say above: no more than the assumption that this airport is assigned code ZWAX.

ICAO "indicators list" assign ZWAX to unknown city "A'xialashankou, China". There is Alashankou (Ala Shankou) railway station in China located at 45°21′03″N 82°25′27″E.

Some info is here : http://www.sourcejuice.com/1350260/2010/07/11/Alashankou-Bole-Airport-ended-without-Civil-Aviation-Maritime-navigation/

[ZUUU] "Quite developed" by green_chilli

Comment by @green_chilli on Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, China:

I was surprised at the development of Chengdu's airport. Very modern, light and airy design - shopping and food options, some quite nice and not too expensive.

Plenty of fruit stalls before check-in to stock up on the local favourites also.

Comment by @green_chilli on Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, China:

With all the preparations for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, Hongqiao Airport got a new terminal!

All very flash, with new connections to the line 2 of the subway which will also take you directly (in an hour and a half I've heard) out to Pudong International Airport.

Would be great to see more regional flights flying into Hongqiao in the future.

This territory is claimed by Malaysia, China, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Malaysia currently has effective control, with this airport on a man made island, a small naval base, and a diving resort.

The word "Baiyun" means "white cloud", which is an inauspicious name for an airport. However, it makes a good name for a cockatiel: http://gallery.xcski.com/v/paulart/photo_contest/baiyun.jpg.html
