Fuzhou Airport FOC

Fuzhou Changle International Airport was planned in three construction phases. The handling capacity for passengers and cargo in the first phase is 6.5 million and 200,000 tons respectively. The runway is capable of accommodating B747-400 and MD11 jumbo jets with full loads. The main construction projects include: a 3,600 meter long and 45 meter wide runway and a 3,600 meter long and 23 meter wide taxiway and corresponding engineering projects pertaining to air traffic control, traffic guidance, telecommunication, metrology, lighting, oil supply, cargo transportation, fire fighting, water and power supply and waste water treatment. The new airport is an important airport in China’s civil aviation network and an important international airport in southeast China.

Fuzhou Changle airport terminal was primarily designed by Architects Planners & Engineers Ltd(Raglan Squire & Partners F.E.) of Singapore; the construction drawings were designed by Central South Construction Design Institute. The T-shaped terminal covers 137,000 square meters (1032m x 141m). The terminal follows Singapore Changi Airport in design and displays the characteristics of Fujian local residential buildings. The classic beauty of China is fully embodied. It was designed to handle 6.5 million passengers per year with the peak hour handling capacity of 3000; there would be 17 airbridges in total. For the first phase, the designed capacity was 3.5 million and 8 airbridges were put into use.

Inbound and outbound passengers are diverted to different stories; international and domestic passengers separated. The functions of the five-story building are as follows: mechanical and electronic equipment is located in both the basement and Floor 4. Floor 1 is for arrival, where Quarantine Inspection, Immigration, baggage claim area, Customs and hall areas are set up; services such as public telephones, dining facilities, travel agency, and accommodation for transit passengers are provided. Floor 2 is for departure. There are customs inspection, ticketing, immigration, security check and hall area. Floor 3 is an office area with part of it used for mechanical and electronic equipment.

The general setting of the terminal is compact and reasonable, business flow simple and smooth, function areas clean and clear. Some areas are delicately decorated, while others use simple decoration. For decoration, modern and aesthetic taste is paid attention to but cost sensitiveness is also born in mind. The six-lane viaduct is 444 meters long and 31.3 meters wide.
