Tianjin Binhai International Airport (IATA: TSN, ICAO: ZBTJ) (simplified Chinese: 天津滨海国际机场; traditional Chinese: 天津濱海國際機場; pinyin: Tiānjīn Bīnhăi Guójì Jīchǎng) is an airport located east of Tianjin, in Dongli District. It is one of the major air cargo centers in the People's Republic of China.
It is the hub airport for Tianjin Airlines, established in 2004, and privately owned Okay Airways. It's also a focus city for Air China.
International flights are primarily operated by Korean Air and Asiana Airlines to Seoul-Incheon International Airport, Japan Airlines to Nagoya-Chubu Centrair International Airport.
In 2010, Tianjin Binhai International Airport handled 7,277,106 passengers, a growth of 25.9% over 2009, making it the 22nd busiest airport in China.
New terminal and second runway
Construction of a new terminal began in 2005 and was fully operating by 2008. The airport expansion provides a state-of-the-art terminal building, which is more than three times bigger than the current one at 116,000 m2. When the three construction phases are complete the airport terminal will be over 500,000 m2 and be able to handle 40 million passengers a year. Over the period of the project the airport site will enlarge from the current 25 km² to 80 km². The airport as a whole will resemble Amsterdam's Schiphol airport in size and will be able to handle over 500,000 tons of cargo and 200,000 flights a year.
The expansion, with a total investment of nearly 3 billion yuan (409.5 million U.S. dollars) widened the runway to 75 meters from 50 meters and lengthened it to 3,600 meters. In May 2009, the airport has also completed the construction of a second runway, and the expected number of passengers will exceed ten million.
