Yes, Sun, director of Zhanjiang Municipal Transportation Bureau, told reporters last week that in order to promote the development of western Guangdong, the preparatory work for the relocation of Zhanjiang Airport is in full swing. The relocation plan of Zhanjiang Airport is located in Tangzhu Town, Wuchuan City, Zhanjiang, in order to prepare for the establishment of Yuexi International Airport. The radiation scope of the airport has expanded from Zhanjiang to western Guangdong, including Maoming, Yangjiang and even the surrounding areas of Guangxi, expanding the number of tourists and goods. The integration cooperation between western Guangdong and China is beginning to emerge. Sun, director of the Zhanjiang Municipal Transportation Bureau, told reporters last week that in order to promote the development of western Guangdong, the preliminary work for the relocation of Zhanjiang Airport is in full swing. The relocation plan of Zhanjiang Airport is located in Tangzhu Town, Wuchuan City, Zhanjiang, in order to prepare for the establishment of Yuexi International Airport. The radiation scope of the airport has expanded from Zhanjiang to western Guangdong, including Maoming, Yangjiang and even the surrounding areas of Guangxi, expanding the number of tourists and goods. The integration of western Guangdong calls for great traffic, and the construction of western Guangdong International Airport has a long history. In June 5438+last year 10, Guangdong held the first working conference on western Guangdong in 30 years. Local officials in Zhanjiang and Maoming both proposed to relocate Zhanjiang Airport with annual passenger traffic of1300,000 passengers to Wuchuan between Zhanjiang and Maoming to build Yuexi International Airport. The reason is very good: although there is Zhanjiang airport in western Guangdong, it is still very inconvenient for most people in western Guangdong to fly. The main problem is that the airport is too biased and inconvenient. At present, Zhanjiang Airport is located in Xiashan, Zhanjiang, more than 20 kilometers away from Maoming City 120, nearly 200 kilometers away from Yangjiang City, and further away from Yunfu City. Because of the long distance, people in northwest Guangdong prefer to take an express train to Guangzhou International Airport rather than fly to Zhanjiang. On the other hand, Zhanjiang Airport is far from full due to insufficient passenger flow, which even leads to loss-making operation of the airport. For example, on June 5438+ 10 this year, Zhanjiang opened a direct flight from Zhanjiang to Beijing, with two round-trip flights carried by Air China. Worried about the shortage of tourists, Air China put forward harsh conditions, demanding a daily turnover of not less than 240,000 RMB. If it is less than this amount, Zhanjiang municipal government will be responsible for the advance payment. In this regard, Sun believes that Zhanjiang Airport now has "fewer flights, expensive fares and small planes", which can neither attract passengers nor meet the development needs of Zhanjiang. At last year's work conference in western Guangdong, western Guangdong was positioned as a heavy chemical industry base, a modern logistics base and a demonstration site of circular economy in Guangdong. By 20 12, western Guangdong will form a large transportation network that runs through the Pearl River Delta, connects the southwest and quickly connects the inland; The port-based heavy chemical industry has formed a scale, and the characteristic agriculture and marine industry have developed greatly. At the same time, it is positioned as a bridgehead and hub port for western Guangdong and even Guangdong to participate in the development of Beibu Gulf and trade with ASEAN. The site selection planning of Yuexi International Airport has been completed. A person from Zhanjiang Planning Bureau told the reporter that the site selection of Yuexi International Airport has been completed. The proposed Yuexi International Airport is located in Tang Zhu, Wuchuan, at the junction of Zhanjiang and Maoming. Wuchuan Tang Zhu was chosen because of its geographical advantages. There are high-speed entrances and exits in the middle of Maozhan Expressway, as well as the intersection of provincial highway S286 and Maozhan Expressway. The newly-built Maozhan high-speed railway station includes Maoming East, Wuchuan and Tang Zhu with convenient transportation. The new airport can be reached quickly by setting up air bus rapid transit lines in western Guangdong. At the same time, choosing a suitable location to build the airport between the two places can not only accelerate the "integration" strategic layout of Zhanjiang's "eastward expansion" and Maoming's "southward expansion", but also broaden the better radiation space for the relocated Zhanjiang Airport itself. It believes that every increase of 6.5438+million passengers in large hub airports will boost the local economy by 0.5 percentage points and increase 6.5438+million jobs. The West Guangdong Airport will be built into a large-scale hub airport, and the huge effect of airport economy will be used to promote the agglomeration of various resources such as production, technology, capital, trade and population, and promote the rapid development of related industrial clusters in West Guangdong. In fact, the practice of integration and cooperation has been carried out in eastern Guangdong. Previously, Guangdong Shantou Airport has now moved to Jieyang and changed its name to Yuedong Airport. As for how to raise funds for the construction of Yuexi Airport in the future, a person in charge of Zhanjiang Airport Management Office, who asked not to be named, said that he needed help from above. Taking Chaoshan Airport as an example, he introduced that the total investment of the overall construction project of Chaoshan Airport was 3.76404 billion yuan, including 3.052565438 billion yuan for the main airport project, 400 million yuan for the financial arrangement of Guangdong Province, 400 million yuan for the subsidy of Civil Aviation Administration, 700 million yuan for the self-financing of Guangdong Airport Group Corporation, and the rest was bank loans /article/2065438.
