Air China Moves Shanghai Airport Operations to Terminal Two Pudong

Posted on: Friday, 25 April 2008, 18:00 CDT

Air China has moved its Shanghai airport operations to terminal two of Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

The terminal two Pudong contains three sections: the main building, the waiting hall corridor and apron. Spanning 485,000sqm, it's 1.7 times the size of T1 Pudong, and 3.2 times the size of the terminal at Hongqiao.

Air China's counters for international flights are located at Island H, and counters for domestic flights at Island K. The company said that the distance between international counters and domestic counters is much shorter compared with T1 Pudong, sparing travelers from trekking long distances between the two areas.

The transportation center between T1 and T2 is where passengers get on trains, shuttle buses, taxis or long distance buses. The public car park offers 6,000 parking lots. Ferry bus service is available between the two terminals for transfer passengers.

Air China will put into service a departure control system and baggage reconciliation system. Self-check in devices allow passengers to pick seat and print boarding pass by themselves, giving them an experience of easy travel from the very start.
