Xi’an Xianyang Airport
Before Xi'an Xianyang International Airport was built, Xi'an was served by Xi'an Xiguan Airport. In 1984, the State Council of the People's Republic of China and Central Military Commission proposed to build a large civil-use airport on the site of Xianyang's airfield. Phase 1 of the airport commenced construction on August 1987, and was finished and opened in September 1, 1991. Xi'an Xiguan Airport closed at the same time. Phase 2 started in August 2000, and was finished on September 16, 2003. Also, in 2007, the airport signed an agreement to do trading with Pittsburgh International Airport in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, creating the "Air silk road."
Another RMB7.592 billion invested project is scheduled to be established by 2020. It will build a third 170,000-square-meter terminal building; a second 3,800-meter runway; and related support facilities. After expansion, the airport will reach 26 million passengers annually, and will become the fourth Chinese airport with independent parallel operation of instrument runways.
