China Aerotropolis Development Model and Investment Strategy Planning Report, 2013-2017

As to airport industry, under such as stagnant economic environment, the airline companies continue to cut capacity and adjust airlines, so as to reduce the cost. However, as an infrastructure provider, airport can’t change the runway or close the airport terminals. How to strive from this economic depression? As of the end of 2011, there were 180 (excluding the airports in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) civil airports (with certification) in China, among which there were 178 airports with aerial liners, and there were 175 cities with airports. In 2011, the national civil airport completed the passenger throughput of 621 million person-time, up by 10.0% over the previous year.

Airport Passenger throughput records are high again and again, a number of small airports have been built and put into operation, the expansion for large - scale airports is in full swing, local governments have introduced regulations to promote the development airport in succession, and the airport industry has shown a rapid development scene. However, with the constant opening and operation of high-speed rail, the competition between aviation industry and high-speed rail industry intensifies, meanwhile, airport terminals among cities begin to fight for customers. How to maintain an invincible position in fierce competition, and how to actively explore new economic growth points have become the top priorities for the airport operators.

With the rapid development of China airport industry, the airport economy increasingly shows the strength as a regional economic development “engine” and “booster”. Breaking through the simple way of developing transportation, and taking airports’ characteristics into consideration, combining the airport construction and city development, a development model of “aerotropolis” has been come up with and gradually adopted by many big airports around the world. And it proves the airport model is an effective thinking for airport management and upgrading. Aerotropolis model has been recognized as the future development direction for airports.

Aerotropolis, as an emerging city model, has play a positive role in promoting the growth of passenger and goods volume, stimulating the development of local economy, accelerating the upgrading of industry structure, increasing the governmental tax, attracting talents and promoting jog growth. So far, there are 30 regions with airports release their airport economy plans.
