History[edit]

Ürümqi Airport was opened to foreign passengers in 1973,^{[citation needed]} and has been used for emergency landings for flights between Europe and west Asia. On September 12, 2007, British citizen Akmal Shaikh was arrested for drug-trafficking, after customs officers discovered 4 kilograms (9 Ib) of heroin in his baggage. He was sentenced to death and executed on December 29, 2009.

Facilities[edit]

The airport covers an area of 484 hectares (1,200 acres). Its newly built runway is 3,600 m (11,800 ft) in length. The airport can allow the landing of large aircraft such as the Boeing 747. The 110,000 m² (1,200,000 sq ft) apron can accommodate over 30 aircraft.^{[citation needed]}

The first runway (07/25): in 1994 to accept the expansion, the flight zone level 4E, runway length 3600 meters, 45 meters wide, PCN value of 74, elevation 648 meters, with Class II precision approach.

The second runway (???): under construction, located to the north of current runway, flight zone level 4F, runway length 3600 meters, 60 meters wide.

The third runway (???): under construction, located to the north of current runway, flight zone level 4F, runway 3200 meters long, 60 meters wide.

Terminals[edit]

Terminal 1[edit]

The original terminal opened in 1974. It was closed between April 23, 2011 and August 30, 2013 for renovation.^[4] On April 1, 2014, operations were resumed.^[5] After the transformation of the T1 terminal with six security channels, 19 check-in counters, with the peak hourly 700 times the business capacity.^{[clarification needed]}^[6] This terminal is mainly for the regional aviation aviation around Xinjiang province and low-cost aviation use, including Tianjin Airlines, Capital Aviation, Spring Airlines, Yunnan Xiangpeng Airlines, China United Airlines, Okay Airways and Western Airlines.^[7]

Terminal 3[edit]

Construction of Terminal 3 to the west of the older terminal building began in April 2007 at a cost of 2.8 billion yuan (350 million U.S. dollars). It increased Diwopu's ability to handle more than three times its current (2007) 5.13 million passengers annually to 16.35 million passengers. It can also handle 275,000 tons of cargo and 155,000 aircraft a year. Terminal 3 added 22 more jet bridges and nearly 106,000 square meters of new terminal space.^[9] The terminal opened in 2009.
