The Baiyun airport in Guangzhou on Thursday officially put into operation its Terminal 3 and fifth runway, making it China’s first civil airport to operate five commercial runways. The expansion of the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, one of the country’s three major international aviation hubs, is another step towards building a world-class airport cluster in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area. In the near future, the airport will be able to handle 120 million passengers and 3.8 million tonnes of cargo and mail.
