Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (IATA: CAN, ICAO: ZGGG) (simplified Chinese: 广州白云国际机场; traditional Chinese: 廣州白雲國際機場; pinyin: Guǎngzhōu Báiyún Guójì Jīchǎng) is the main airport of Guangzhou, the capital of the province of Guangdong, People's Republic of China. Both airport codes were inherited from the previous Guangzhou airport, and the IATA code reflects Guangzhou's former romanization Canton. The airport is the main hub of China Southern Airlines and a focus city for Shenzhen Airlines.
According to the Financial Times in an article on 18 January 2007, the airport handled 23.6 million people in 2005.
Overview
The current airport in Huadu District opened on August 5, 2004, replacing the 72-year-old previous, identically named Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (now closed). The new airport, built at a cost of 19.8 billion yuan, is 28 kilometers (17 statute miles) from downtown Guangzhou and nearly 5 times larger than its predecessor. The ambitious second phase of construction, aimed for completion in 2009, aims to double the capacity yet again. [1] A branch of the Guangzhou Metro to the airport is also under construction.
The opening of the New Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport had relieved most of the controversies of the older and deteriorated airport because of the limited space, overcrowding and lack of expansions. Its opening allowed it to overcome curfews and restrictions and begin a 24 hour operation. This meant that China Southern Airlines could highly utilize their intercontinental routes by flying overnight. Other airlines have this benefit too.
"Baiyun" (白雲) means "white clouds" in Chinese, and refers to Mt. Baiyun (Baiyunshan) near the location of the former airport. The airport is also referred to as "New Baiyun" to distinguish it from the previous version, but this is not a part of the official name.
Kenya Airways will add daily frequencies to Guangzhou in the coming years, while United Airlines received authority to serve Guangzhou from San Francisco after winning rights. However, the start date for United have been pushed back a year due to high fuel costs[1]. Emirates has been approved to start service to Guangzhou with, A330-200, and then the flights would eventually be increased to daily from December with all B777-200/ER aircraft. Also Jet Airways and Yemenia Airways have expressed their interest in opening routes to the airport in the near future. FedEx, is going to open a new super hub at the airport, replacing their current Subic Bay International Airport in the Philippines.
