the passengers of six full A380 aircraft simultaneously.

shuttle trains.
● This compact design of the terminal results in minimizing the distance between
check-in and gates. Even the farthest gate can be reached within 8 minutes by
walking.
● Photovoltaic power generation is fitted in the airport to generate a capacity of at
least 10MW.
● It has implemented composite ground-source heat pump system, and rainwater
collection and water management system.
● The water management system employs natural storage, permeation, and
purification of up to 2.8 million cubic meters of water in new wetlands, lakes, and
streams to prevent flooding. And in addition to that to counter the heat effect during
summers in local microclimate.
