Xiamen International Airport is located in the northeastern tip of Xiamen Island, which is about 10 km away from the city center of Xiamen. At present, there is a runway which is 3400 meters long and 45 meters wide. The apron area of Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport was 25 million square meters, and there is the terminal area of 149,000 square meters.

At present, there are 4 methods for you to reach Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport. The first one is, of course, taxi. The starting price of a taxi is 9 RMB and it is quite cheap indeed. Of course, if you are trying to go to this airport from a quite distant place, you could try to consider other options. Another option is Airport Bus. There are some stations in Xiamen where you could take an airport bus. However, these stations are not many in Xiamen so that if you are not at the location near the stations, you better not choose to take airport bus.

Besides the above options, you could simply take a bus to reach the Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport. Of course, this is the cheapest way to reach the airport but you are not recommended to take it if you are in a hurry because if it stops at every station before reaching the airport, you would surely miss your plane.

The last choice is the Bus Rapid Transit. It is similar to mass transit system and the Line 1 and 2 of this system could both bring you to the airport.

If you have limited budget, you could try to take the bus. There are currently 9 bus routes running from different parts of Guangzhou to the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. Therefore, if you need to travel to the airport but you do not want to spend a lot of money taking taxi or the Airport Expressway, you could just simple go to a bus station and you might see the sign that there would be a airport bus leading you to your destination. Of course, waiting airport bus requires time so that if you are in a hurry, you should not try to stand at the bus stop and wait because if you are unlucky, you might need to wait as long as 25 minutes to get a suitable bus for you.

On the other hand, if you are in a hurry but you do not want to spend much, you could consider taking the mass transit system. The system would bring you to the terminal of the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport directly and you could simply reach the check-in counters after leaving the train.

However, as mass transit system has a number of stations and you might need to waste some time waiting for the doors of the train to open and close, you could take a taxi to the airport if you do not mind spending about 100 to 120 RMB. Compared to other transport tools, it is definitely more expensive but you could convenient reach the airport unless there is a traffic jam on the road. Currently, taxi seems to remain the most popular tool of tourist when they are going to the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.

The previous Guangzhou Baiyun Airport was located in Baiyun District of Guangzhou City. It was built in the summer of 1933, which was originally used for military purposes mainly. Later, the previous Baiyun Airport was converted into a civilian airport. After the reform and opening up of China, Baiyun Airport was developing rapidly and its passenger throughput had been ranking the first in the country for 8 consecutive years. However, as the old Baiyun Airport was located in the urban center, the expansion of the airport was limited and after a number of expansions, the airport was still unable to meet the increasing demand from the passengers. Therefore, the construction of the new Baiyun Airport, which is also the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport was are talking about now, was put into the agenda of the government.

The choosing of the site of the new Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport started in 1992 and after years of preparation, the new Baiyun International Airport started the construction in August 2000. After 4 years of hard work, the construction completed in August 2, 2004 completed. At the same year, the airport was officially opened and then, the old Baiyun Airport, which served Guangzhou people as well as foreign visitors for 72 years, was closed.

The construction of the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport involved a total investment of nearly 200 million RMB. Currently, the farthest airport in the world from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport was located in Chile, which is the San Pedro De Atacama Airport. As Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is one of the main airports used in Guangdong Province, a lot of airlines would locate the destination of their flights in this airport so that many people coming to visit Guangzhou or even Guangdong Province would have arrived at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport when they first step on the territory of China.

The new apron of Wuyishan Airport had an area of 18,000 square meters, which can accommodate Boeing 737 and MD -80 aircraft. Therefore, the hardware of this Wuyishan Airport is very nice and passengers could have confidence towards this airport.

The construction of the first phase of the Fuzhou Changle International Airport was based on the standard that the airport could afford a passenger throughput of 6.5 million air passengers, and a cargo and mail annual handling capacity of 200,000 tons. Therefore, this airport could accommodate Boeing 747-400 and MD-11 and other large aircraft, to meet the demand for direct flights from this airport to Southeast Asia, North America and other areas far away from China.

The transport from the city centre of Changle to the airport includes 2 ways. On is taxi while the other one is airport bus. Of course, if you are approaching airport to pick up your friends, you could drive your own car there.

For airbus, the price of ticket is mostly 20 RMB per person so that if you are taking the bus from a place far away from the airport, it would be quite nice to take a bus. However, if you are quite near to the airport, taking a taxi might be more beneficial because the minimum fare of a taxi is 7RMB. Of course, it is up to you to choose.

In 1904, two small aircraft from France conducted a field demonstration flight in Beijing Nanyuan Airport. According to some historical record, this is the first time that an airplane flies over Chinese territory. Therefore, you could definitely see that Beijing Nanyuan Airport is very important to the development of Chinese aviation history and without this airport, Chinese people might not be able to see the power of planes until World War and the development of the air force of China would not be so early.

In August 1910, the Qing government decided to organize some resources to start the aviation industry. Therefore, they decided to set up an aircraft manufacturing factory and tried to make some aircrafts in Nanyuan Airport. Of course, in order to let planes to take off, there should be a long runway. The workers created a long runway and Beijing Nanyuan Airport formally became an airport.

Decades later, World War started and this Beijing Nanyuan Airport became one of the major supporting bases for Chinese air force to fight against the enemies. Moreover, if Chinese leaders need to travel to other places to instruct the plans of the war, they would take off from Beijing Nanyuan Airport. Many leaders therefore had used Beijing Nanyuan Airport for their flights.

After the establishment of China United Airlines, the authority permitted it to use Beijing Nanyuan Airport as its base. Of course, a condition is that China United Airlines should share part of the military need of the Chinese military force to transport some of the materials to other parts of China. Thus, Beijing Nanyuan Airport is really very special to Chinese people.

Terminal 2 of Beijing Capital International Airport was put into use on November 1, 1999. Before the opening of terminal 3, terminal 2 once handled some of the domestic flights as well as all international flights. There is a passenger access from Terminal 1 to 2, and there would be automatic conveyor belts to reduce the long distances between the two terminals so that passengers would not feel so exhausted.

For terminal 3, it is definitely the core terminal of Beijing Capital International Airport. In fact, in terms of routes run, the number of routes run in terminal 3 is similar to terminal 2. However, there are a lot of entertainment facilities and restaurants in terminal 3, making it very comprehensive to the passengers. In fact, many people would like visit terminal 3 of the airport and have a funny holiday, even though they are not taking a flight. This clearly matches with the trend of the world that an airport should provide more and more different kinds of shops to satisfy the needs of some busy passengers who are traveling from flights to flights.

If you are driving a car and you would like to arrive at this airport to pick up some of your friends or relatives coming to Beijing, there is the Capital Airport Expressway built in the early 1990s. You could directly reach the airport from the Beijing Sanyuan Bridge Direct quickly with the use of this Capital Airport Expressway. There is also an ordinary road built parallel to the Expressway. It was actually older than the Expressway as it was built in the 1950s. Now, this road is commonly referred to as the airport side roads. Of course, as mentioned before, the development of Beijing Capital International Airport is very rapid and the Expressway had been a bit saturated. Therefore, the government had started building another Expressway for drivers to reach the airport quickly. When this new Expressway is built, it is expected that more and more people would like to use the service of Beijing Capital International Airport and the throughput of this airport would probably increase again!

Of course, if you are not driver, you could also reach the airport by the advanced Urban Mass Transit System. This system connecting major areas of Beijing to T3 terminal of Beijing started its construction in 2005 and was completed and opened on July 19, 2008.

Of course, as it is using the roads, the speed of it might be a bit slower that the mass transit system. But the price of the ticket is definitely cheaper.
