Shenzhen Airport plans to temporarily close the second runway from August 25 to October 24

China News Service, Shenzhen, August 22 (Reporter Suo Youwei) Shenzhen Airport announced on the 22nd that Shenzhen Airport plans to temporarily close the second runway from August 25 to October 24. This move is to carry out the construction of the connecting road between runway 16L/34R (hereinafter referred to as "runway two") and runway 16R/34L (hereinafter referred to as "runway three"), and to upgrade the safety operation assurance quality of the second runway to improve the airport's runway operation system and improve overall operation efficiency and safety assurance capabilities.

The airport said that by then, Shenzhen Airport will be adjusted from the current three runways to two runways. Flight operation capacity and efficiency will be subject to certain restrictions. Flight plans and individual route densities will be adjusted during certain periods. At the same time, the ground taxiing time of some inbound flights may increase. Shenzhen Airport will work with air traffic control and airlines to reasonably optimize and adjust flight schedules, seat arrangements and ground taxiing routes to ensure safe and smooth travel for passengers. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to everyone.

This contact road construction is an important part of the second phase of the Shenzhen Airport's three-runway construction project. After the construction is completed, the taxiway between the third and second runways of Shenzhen Airport will be connected, the ground taxiing path of aircraft will be further optimized, and the overall operational efficiency and safety assurance capabilities of the airport are expected to be improved, laying the foundation for subsequent expansion of the airport's flight capacity, and in the future, it can better meet the needs of regional economic and social development and passengers' needs for more efficient and smooth travel.

The airport reminds passengers traveling during this period to pay attention to airline flight adjustments and the latest flight information, and arrange their travel plans reasonably.
