history
The airport was opened on the 50th anniversary of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1999. A terminal designed by the Paris airport company ADP under the direction of Paul Andreu and a runway were inaugurated at that time. On March 17, 2005, a second runway was put into operation. The third runway was then built and opened in March 2008. The fourth slope (16L and 34R) was opened in March 2015.

The airport extends over an area of 40 km² and is about 30 kilometers from the city center and 40 kilometers from the older Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. The airport currently has four runways, each 3400 meters, 3800 meters and 4000 meters long and 60 meters wide. It offers 76 parking spaces for aircraft and 50,000 m² of storage space. Around 50 airlines fly to more than 130 domestic and international destinations. There are various bus routes, metro , taxis and maglev train to get to the city center .

The maximum speed is 431 km / h and the route has a length of about 30 kilometers. While the track was built by a Chinese company, the train itself comes from the German Transrapid consortium .

The capacity was initially 40 million passengers a year. In March 2008 a second terminal with a very similar architecture was inaugurated and the capacity increased to 60 million passengers per year. In the long term, the airport is to house one of the four future logistics centers, be able to welcome 80 million passengers a year and have four terminals. A fifth runway east of the existing facility is under construction.
