History

Construction for the airport started on June 25, 1986, and the first flight departed on August 29, 1989. Changsha Huanghua airport was approved as an international scheduled-flight airport in the 3rd Pan-Asian aviation conference and flights to Bangkok were the first international service.

On October 28, 2000, the 34,000-square-meter Terminal 1-A, which costs 40.4 million CNY, was open. The airport was capable of handling 4.6 million passengers per year. Afterwards, the construction of Terminal 1-B and Terminal 1-C were finished to ensure growing passengers and cargo.

The airport went through a major expansion in 2008–2011, with lengthening of runway 18/36 from 2600m to 3200m and the addition of Terminal 2 which went into operation in 2011.

Short-Term Expansion (2020)

The airport is currently under a crucial expansion project eastwards, which mainly involves the construction of a new 3800mx60m Code-4F runway. The new runway is parallel with the current 18/36 runway and lies 380m to the east. New taxiways and apron are also being built in the process. The second runway is due for operation in 2016 thus enabling A380 flights. Terminal 1 is also undergoing renovation to allow for the handling of increasing passengers. Meanwhile, The cargo facilities and freighter stands are under expansion.

After the completion of the 2nd runway, Terminal 3 and the east terminal area will be constructed on the east side of it. The airport will be capable of handling 31 million passengers, 320 thousand tons of cargo and 260 thousand aircraft movements annually. The airport becomes a hub in Central China that covers 1,648 hectares of land after this stage.

Long-Term Expansion (2030)

The third parallel runway of 3600m (4E) will be built to the east of Terminal 3&4, and it is 2000 meters away from the second runway. More concourses are to be added to increase the passenger capacity of Terminal 3. And Terminal 4 is to be constructed beside Terminal 3. The east terminal area, in which both Terminals 3&4 lie, is located between the 2nd and 3rd Runways. At the final stage, the fourth parallel runway (3600m) of 4E will be constructed 1035m in the east of the third runway. Two underground tunnels connecting the west area (Terminal 1&2) and the east terminals (Terminal 3&4) are considered.

The long-term expansion will take up another 2,687 hectares. Changsha Huanghua Int'l airport will become a major hub in China which hosts a number of based airlines. The ultimate capacity of the airport will be 71 million passengers, 1.8 million tons of cargo and 550 thousand movements annually.
