    The new airport is divided into three zones. There is an office zone, which includes, in addition to administrative space, a facility for customs, immigration and quarantine. Between the airport’s two runways is the terminal zone (the interior is shown in the photo here). The terminal building is expected to handle more than 25 Million passengers each year into 2010.

    Guangzhou Baiyun’s cargo zone includes warehouses, air and postal express facilities as well as a base to handle business jets. Cargo warehousing space is more than 110,000 square meters. Adjacent to the cargo area is an aircraft maintenance hanger, capable of handling two wide-body airplanes and nine narrow-bodies at the same time.
