Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, International airport in Lujia, China.
Chengdu Tianfu International Airport features symmetrically designed terminal buildings and three parallel runways serving commercial flights. The facility is designed to handle around 60 million passengers annually.
Construction began in May 2016, and the airport opened for operations in June 2021. It was developed to expand the city's aviation capacity beyond the existing airport.
The terminal design draws inspiration from the Golden Sun Bird, an archaeological symbol found in sites near Chengdu. This choice connects the airport to the region's ancient heritage.
The airport connects to downtown Chengdu through multiple transportation options, including express highways and metro lines. These connections make reaching the city center from the terminal straightforward.
The airport operates alongside Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, making the city one of few in China with two major international hubs. This dual setup reflects the region's rapid growth and travel demand.
