Guangzhou New Baiyun International Airport is a famous tourist attraction in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, founded in 1930s, is one of the three major aviation hub airports in China and occupies an important position in the layout of civil airports in China. From 65438 to 0994, Baiyun Airport was rated as the second largest service enterprise airport in China among the 500 largest service enterprises and industries in China. From 65438 to 0995, Baiyun Airport was listed as one of the top 500 state-owned enterprises. From 65438 to 0998, Baiyun Airport was rated as a "civilized airport" by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

On August 5, 2004, Guangzhou New Baiyun International Airport was officially put into operation, with a total investment of 654.38+098 billion yuan. This is the first airport in China designed and built according to the concept of central airport. The airport covers an area of 15 square kilometers. The two parallel runways in the flight area of the first phase project are designed according to 4E standard, and the terminal area is designed to meet the demand of 25 million passengers in 20 10. Among them, the first-phase terminal building of the new airport covers an area of 320,000 square meters, which is the largest of all airport terminals in China, and all facilities and equipment in the building have reached the international advanced level. At present, Baiyun Airport has established business relations with 33 airlines, and opened more than 1 10 routes, reaching more than 100 cities at home and abroad, supporting nearly 30 types of aircraft. It is the base airport of China Southern Airlines Group and Shenzhen Airlines.

The first phase of the newly-built airport project is divided into three areas: the terminal area, the flight area and the work area. The terminal area is located in the center of the airport area. The flight is divided into east and west sides; Workspaces are located on the south and north sides; Office areas of the Airport Authority, base airlines and other units, as well as oil storage areas, freight areas, aircraft maintenance areas, etc. The terminal area is the core area, including passenger station, air traffic control tower, comprehensive building, parking lot and airport hotel.

The main facilities are:

1: Terminal. The terminal building is mainly composed of the main building, the connecting building, the finger corridor and the elevated corridor. The east-west connecting building connects the main building, elevated corridor, airport hotel and parking lot into a whole through the road system. North-south departure viaducts are symmetrically arranged on the north and south sides of the main building of the terminal building, and departing passengers can directly reach the ticket hall on the second floor of the main building through the viaducts. Passengers arriving in Hong Kong are quickly evacuated through the exit connecting the first floor of the building. The building area of the terminal building is more than 300,000 square meters, which can meet the requirements of annual passenger throughput of 25 million passengers, cargo of 6,543.8+0,000 tons, aircraft take-off and landing of 900-654.38+000 flights in typical peak hours and passenger throughput of 9,300 passengers.

2. Ticket Hall: The ticket hall is located on the second floor of the main building. Passengers going to the airport by bus can enter the departure hall at the terminal as soon as they get off the bus. Eye-catching electronic screens show passengers entering and leaving Hong Kong at this time, boarding gates and so on. The hall is spacious, with two-way 15 columns connecting the ground and the roof, and columns connecting the roof. Columns and roofs are made of white materials, which makes the space more spacious, and the ground is covered with fire-fighting materials. Even if there is a fire, it won't ignite. There are 168 check-in counters, and any counter can check in, which changes the mode that fixed flights at domestic airports must go through the formalities at fixed counters. At the same time, passengers can handle baggage consignment, and there is an electronic display screen in front of the baggage conveyor belt next to the counter to show whether the baggage is overweight or not and whether it needs to be paid. After purchasing insurance, they can enter the waiting room through security check.

3. Passenger safety passage: The passenger safety passage is set in two connected buildings. The new airport has introduced the world's most advanced five-level rapid security inspection system, and any bombs and dangerous goods will be detected. Even the CT system for physical examination is used for security inspection, which is very strict and accurate. Passengers who pass the security check wait in different areas of the four corridors and board the plane through 46 boarding bridges connected by the corridors. Inside the boarding bridge is a scissors mouth structure.

4. Domestic and international transit passenger passage: The domestic and international transit passenger passage is also located on the second floor of the terminal building. There is a battery car ferry here, so passengers don't have to travel long distances, re-check security and go out of the quarantine area to go through the formalities when changing between corridors. In order to shorten the walking distance of passengers, the terminal has also set up a pedestrian passage. There are 160 escalators and elevators for passengers to use. Various transmission devices enable passengers to check in and board the plane within a walking distance of 70 meters and 200 meters. In addition, more than 100 toilets in the new airport are built according to five-star standards. 5. Security inspection system and other facilities: There is also a security inspection system and an automatic baggage sorting system in the terminal. There are 10 sets of modern information systems such as departure system and flight information display system, as well as facilities such as restaurants, shops and entertainment, which effectively guarantee the real-time sharing of airport operation information and provide all-round and thoughtful services. Among them, the automatic baggage sorting system includes seven subsystems such as check-in and sorting, including three major baggage sorting systems: departure, transit and arrival at the airport. It's worth 22 million dollars. The system can sort 65,438+00,000 pieces of luggage per minute on average. The whole process takes only 4 minutes from sorting to loading on the transport vehicle. The system can also greatly shorten the transportation time. When crossing the border, passengers only need to go through boarding and connecting procedures. The baggage sorting system can automatically transfer the passengers' luggage to the next flight that the passengers will take, ensuring that the luggage follows the owner at any time.

6. Airport runway and air traffic control tower: The new airport has two runways, of which the east runway is 3,800 meters long and 60 meters wide, and the west runway is 3,600 meters long and 45 meters wide. The flight zone grade index is 4e. Equipped with advanced radar monitoring system, instrument landing system and navigation aid lighting system, it can meet the requirements of various large aircraft in the world and ensure the safe landing of aircraft in special weather. The first phase of the project has 66 passenger aircraft berths, including nearly 60. There are 18 remote seats, 2 special seats, and the air traffic control tower is as high as106m, which is the highest control tower in China civil airport. The white sphere at the top of it goes straight into the sky and shines against the blue sky. It is a landmark building of the airport, with a cost of about 68.45 million yuan. The air traffic control system implements radar control and realizes multiple coverage of radar and communication, so it can automatically process and transmit information related to aircraft flight.
