CHENGDU TO GET SECOND AIRPORT
 
 
Chengdu is the capital of China's Sichuan province and the largest city in the southwest China. It is already home to Shuangliu International Airport, the fifth busiest airport in China, and plans have just been approved for a second airport to meet the growing demand for travel to the area.

The $11.2 billion project will include three runways capable of handling
     

 
40 million passengers. It is slated to be completed in 2025.
The new Chengdu airport will mark China’s second major airport investment in less than a year, following the new international airport in development in Beijing.

Demand for travel in and out of China continues to grow rapidly, with Chinese airports handling more than 754 million passengers in 2013
