Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport was built in the 1930s. It is one of the three major aviation hub airports in China and plays a decisive role in the layout of China's civil airports. In 1994, Baiyun Airport was listed as the second largest service enterprise airport in China among China's 500 largest service enterprises and industry evaluations. In 1995, Baiyun Airport was listed as one of the top 500 state-owned enterprises. In 1998, Baiyun Airport was rated as a "Civilized Airport" by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

On August 5, 2004, Guangzhou New Baiyun International Airport, with a total investment of 19.8 billion yuan, was officially put into operation. This is my country's first airport designed and constructed in accordance with the hub airport concept. The airport covers an area of ??15 square kilometers. The two parallel runways in the flight area of ??the first phase of the project comply with 4E-level standards. The terminal area is designed to meet the passenger throughput requirement of 25 million in 2010. Among them, the first phase of the new airport terminal has an area of ??320,000 square meters, which is the largest among domestic airport terminals. All facilities and equipment in the building have reached the current international advanced level. At present, Baiyun Airport has established business relationships with 33 airlines, has opened more than 110 routes, connects more than 100 domestic and foreign cities, and guarantees nearly 30 types of aircraft. It is the base airport for China Southern Airlines Group Company and Shenzhen Airlines.

The newly completed first phase of the airport is divided into three major areas: terminal area, flight area and work area: the terminal area is located in the center of the site; the flight area is divided into east and west sides ; The work area is located on the south and north sides; it contains the office areas of the airport authorities, base airlines and other units as well as the oil depot area, cargo area, aircraft maintenance area, etc. The terminal area is the core area, including the passenger terminal, air traffic control tower, complex building, parking lot and airport hotel, etc.

The main facilities are:

1: Terminal building. The terminal building is mainly composed of four major building structures: the main building, the connecting building, the corridor and the elevated corridor. The two connecting buildings on the east and west connect the main building, the elevated corridor, the airport hotel, the parking lot, etc. through the road system into a whole. There are north-south departure elevated roads symmetrically set up on the north and south sides of the main building of the terminal. Departing passengers can go straight to the check-in hall on the second floor of the main building through this, while arriving passengers can be quickly evacuated through various exits connecting the first floor of the building. The terminal building with a construction area of ??more than 300,000 square meters can meet the requirements of annual passenger throughput of 25 million passengers, 1 million tons of cargo, 90-100 aircraft takeoffs and landings during typical peak hours, and passenger throughput of 9,300 people.

2: Check-in hall: The check-in hall is on the second floor of the main building. Passengers taking a bus to the airport can enter the departure hall in the terminal building as soon as they get off the bus. The eye-catching electronic screen displays the Passengers entering and exiting the port during the time period, boarding gate, etc. The hall is very spacious, with 15 two-way pillars connecting the ground to the roof, and the pillars to the roof. The pillars and roof are made of white material to make the space more spacious. The floor is covered with fire-fighting materials so that even if there is a fire, it will not ignite. There are 168 check-in counters here, and you can check in at any counter, changing the pattern in which domestic airport fixed flights must go through fixed counters. At the same time, passengers can handle luggage hauling. An electronic display screen in front of the luggage conveyor belt next to the counter is used to display whether the luggage is overweight and whether fees are required. After purchasing the insurance, you can go through the security check and enter the waiting room.

3: Passenger security check channel: The passenger security check channel is set up in the two connecting buildings. The new airport has introduced the world's most advanced five-level rapid security inspection system. Any bombs and dangerous objects will be detected. Even CT systems used for medical examinations are used for security inspections, which are very strict and accurate. Passengers who have passed the security check will wait in different areas of the four corridors and board the plane through the 46 boarding bridges connected by the corridors. The interior of the boarding bridge is a scissor-shaped structure. Departing and arriving passengers do not interfere with each other and are automatically diverted. Arriving passengers get off the boarding bridge exit, go through the corridor and the passage on the second floor of the connecting building, and go down to the first floor of the connecting building to collect their luggage.

4: Domestic and international transfer passenger channels: Domestic and international transfer passenger channels are also on the second floor of the terminal. There is a battery shuttle bus here, so that passengers do not need to walk long distances, go through security checks again, or go out of the quarantine area to go through procedures when transferring between various corridors. In order to shorten the walking distance for passengers, the terminal has also set up walking paths, more than 160 escalators and elevators for passengers to use. Various transmission equipment make the walking distance for passengers to check in and board the plane no more than 70 meters and 200 meters. In addition, more than 100 restrooms in the new airport are built according to five-star standards. 5: Security inspection system and other facilities: The terminal also has 10 modern information systems such as security inspection system, automatic baggage sorting system, departure system and flight information display system, as well as restaurants, shops and leisure and entertainment facilities. The facilities effectively ensure the real-time sharing of airport operation information and provide a full range of thoughtful services. Among them, the automatic baggage sorting system includes 7 subsystems such as check-in and sorting, including the three major baggage sorting systems of airport departure, transfer and arrival, and is worth US$22 million. This system can sort 10,000 pieces of luggage per minute on average. From sorting to sending to the transport truck, the whole process only takes 4 minutes. This system can also greatly shorten the flight transfer time. Passengers only need to go through the check-in and transfer procedures when transferring. The baggage sorting system can automatically transfer the passenger's baggage to the next flight the passenger will take, ensuring that the baggage follows its owner at any time.

6: Airport runway and air traffic control tower: The new airport currently has two runways. The east runway is 3,800 meters long and 60 meters wide, and the west runway is 3,600 meters long and 45 meters wide. The flight zone grade index is 4E. It is equipped with advanced radar surveillance system, instrument landing system and navigation lighting system. It can meet the full weight take-off and landing requirements of all types of large aircraft in the world and ensure safe landing of aircraft in special weather. The first phase of the project has 66 aircraft bays, including 46 close bays, 18 remote bays, and 2 private aircraft bays. The air traffic control tower is 106 meters high. It is the tallest control tower among Chinese civil airports, with a snow-white sphere on top towering into the sky. The clouds shine against the blue sky. It is the iconic building of the airport and cost about 68.45 million yuan. The air traffic control system implements radar control and achieves multiple coverage of radar and communications, so information related to aircraft flight can be automatically processed and transmitted.
