Tianfu International Airport's hub service capabilities are far ahead of other domestic aviation hubs. Tianfu International Airport is becoming a hub transit point from inland areas such as Xinjiang and Tibet in western China to the southeastern coast. The strong domestic route network is attracting more passengers to choose Tianfu and Chengdu; the international route network woven by Tianfu International Airport, The grand vision of connecting Europe and Asia and connecting the world is being realized. Passengers of different skin colors and nationalities are traveling from Chengdu to the world and to the whole country through Chengdu Tianfu International Airport.
Shuangliu International Airport is innovating its development path. Shuangliu International Airport relies on its superior geographical location close to the urban area and puts more emphasis on fast travel. It is based on the business and regional markets and pays more attention to flight frequency. At present, Shuangliu International Airport serves 77 domestic destinations, and has built a high-frequency express network to economically developed cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. With high flight density and larger seat sizes, the airport The express line is a new development highlight of Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. The high-frequency Shuangliu International Airport Express Network allows more passengers to "travel on the go" and "walk the streets of Chengdu" to appreciate Chengdu. A new era of beauty in the Park City.
2. Chengdu International Aviation Hub's "two airports in one" operation is operating steadily and its prospects are more promising.
1. The "two fields in one" operation of Chengdu International Aviation Hub is balanced and orderly, and Chengdu International Aviation Hub has reached a new level.
During the two-year operation of Chengdu International Aviation Hub, the two production operations in Chengdu have experienced epidemic control and Shuangliu Airport flights have been moved to Tianfu operations in stages. The overall operation has been stable and orderly, promoting the friendly opening up of Chengdu Happy City. From the perspective of production indicators, the passenger throughput of the "two fields" of Chengdu International Aviation Hub increased from 4.23 million passengers in June 2021 to 6.48 million passengers in June 2023, an increase of 53%. In the first half of 2023, Chengdu International Aviation Hub had a total of 254,000 takeoffs and landings, completed a passenger throughput of 34.589 million passengers, and completed a cargo and mail throughput of 340,000 tons, an increase of 40.8%, 26.4%, and 9.4% respectively compared with the same period in 2019. Reaching a record high for the same period in history, the development growth rate of Chengdu's international aviation hub is far ahead of the development level of China's civil aviation during the same period. Chengdu has become the "new driving force" for the rapid development of China's civil aviation after the epidemic.
In the first half of this year, Chengdu Tianfu International Airport's passenger traffic in the first half of this year approached the 20 million mark. On July 4, 2023, the number of flights at Tianfu International Airport reached 1,013, exceeding the 1,000 mark for the first time; the monthly passenger throughput has exceeded 3.8 million, and the overall passenger throughput share of Tianfu International Airport in Chengdu is close to 60% , becoming the main market of Chengdu International Aviation Hub and successfully joining the ranks of China's large aviation hubs. It is estimated that by the end of 2023, the passenger throughput of Tianfu International Airport is expected to exceed 45 million, achieving the construction and development goals of the first phase of Tianfu International Airport.
The commissioning of Tianfu International Airport has released new momentum for the Chengdu International Aviation Hub and successfully shared the "burden" of Shuangliu International Airport, allowing Shuangliu International Airport, which has been overloaded for a long time, to finally take a breather. In 2023, Shuangliu International Airport will launch a new round of "quality and efficiency improvement" renovation and construction. Shuangliu International Airport is making decisions before taking action, planning a new chapter of better development.

By the summer and autumn flight seasons starting in March 2023, the average daily planned flights of Tianfu Airport have exceeded 1,200, which is close to the capacity limit of the first phase of Tianfu International Airport. The operational goals of the first phase of Tianfu Airport have been achieved. In line with the spirit of "time waits for us not", Chengdu International Aviation Hub Construction has once again launched a new round of quality improvement and transformation construction projects at Shuangliu International Airport. It is expected that the quality and efficiency improvement and efficiency improvement work of Shuangliu International Airport will be fully completed by 2025. After the completion of the transformation to improve quality and efficiency of Shuangliu International Airport, Shuangliu International Airport will continue to develop and achieve a new pattern of "flying together" with Tianfu International Airport. The "two airports in one" of Chengdu International Aviation Hub will have a more stable and long-term development. bright future.
3. Sustainable high-quality development strategy for Chengdu International Aviation Hub
Everything in the past is just a prologue. In the new era, Chengdu International Aviation Hub's "two-in-one" sustainable and high-quality development requires new thinking and new development paths in order to live up to the times.
1. Open and inclusive, let a hundred flowers bloom in spring, and strive to achieve the high-quality development of the "two fields in one" of Chengdu International Aviation Hub
Looking back at the glorious journey of Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport from its passenger throughput exceeding 10 million for the first time in 2004 to reaching 55.85 million in 2019, from a regional airport to a large international aviation hub with international influence, Sichuan With an open and inclusive mind, the province, Chengdu Municipality, and the civil aviation administration have adopted an active opening-up strategy, actively introduced domestic and foreign airlines to build operating bases and set up branch offices in Chengdu, and guided domestic and foreign airlines to open new routes, making Chengdu a dual-flow operation. The number of international airport airlines has grown from 13 in 2004 to 47 in 2023, and the number of navigable cities has increased from 48 in 2004 to 193 in 2023, realizing the "two-in-one" development of Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport into Chengdu International Aviation Hub. "The leap-forward development has helped Chengdu embark on a new journey of building the gateway to western China.
Now Chengdu International Aviation Hub's "two-in-one" operation has entered a new stage of development. Being more open and inclusive should be the core concept of the "two-in-one" operation and development of Chengdu International Aviation Hub. "One flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together is spring." The park is full." The construction of Chengdu's international aviation hub needs to continue to strengthen cooperation with domestic and foreign airlines, make full use of the resources of Chengdu's "two airports", promote the complementary advantages of base airlines and non-base airlines, and realize the concept of win-win cooperation The joint development of airports, airlines and local economies will realize the high-quality development of the "two fields in one" of Chengdu International Aviation Hub.

2. Coordinated development, the land is vast and the sky is high, wings are flying together to achieve coordinated and balanced development of the "two fields" of Chengdu International Aviation Hub
Chengdu is the second city in China to have two high-quality hub airports. Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport and Chengdu Tianfu International Airport both have the ability to build super-large aviation hubs. (Although Shanghai has two major airports, Hongqiao and Pudong, Hongqiao Airport only has two narrow runways, so its development space is limited). In the early stages of the "two-field-in-one" operation of the Chengdu International Aviation Hub, the strategy of rapidly expanding Tianfu Airport was adopted, and more than half of the flights operating at Shuangliu International Airport were transferred to Tianfu International Airport. At this stage, the average daily flights at Shuangliu Airport are less than 600, which is only equivalent to the level of Shuangliu Airport in 2011; and there are only 8 airlines operating Shuangliu Airport, which is far lower than the level in 2004. Shuangliu Airport has a large number of abundant security resources. Shuangliu Airport still has huge room for incremental development.
The construction of the Chengdu international aviation hub needs to adhere to the new model of "two airports in one", adhere to the leadership of innovation, implement the spirit of building a new development pattern in which the domestic circulation is the main body and the domestic and international dual circulations promote each other, and optimize the two major hub airport carriers of Chengdu Shuangliu and Tianfu Distribution pattern, improve the concentration of Tianfu Airport resource allocation; it is recommended to make full use of Shuangliu International Airport support resources, encourage and introduce more air carriers to participate in the operation of Shuangliu Airport, quickly expand and strengthen Shuangliu International Airport, and realize Chengdu Shuangliu and Tianfu as two major airports The new pattern of joint development of hub airports will lead to the construction of an international aviation hub with Chengdu characteristics, achieve the grand goal of building an international aviation hub in Chengdu, and continue to build China's westward gateway hub with high quality.
3. Unite and cooperate, the leading goose flies first and other geese catch up, actively encourage Chengdu hub main base carriers such as Air China and Sichuan Airlines and other airlines to develop together, and create new achievements in the development of Chengdu international aviation hub
The "Chengdu International Aviation Hub Strategic Plan" clarifies that Air China and Sichuan Airlines are the main base carriers of the Chengdu International Aviation Hub. In June 2023, the market shares of Air China and Sichuan Airlines in the "two fields" of Chengdu International Aviation Hub were 28% and 23% respectively. Among them: Air China and Sichuan Airlines' market shares at Tianfu Airport were 23% and 17% respectively. Air China, Sichuan Airlines' market share in Shuangliu Airport reaches 37% and 29% respectively. Air China and Sichuan Airlines have historically assumed the important task of building Chengdu International Aviation Hub.
We have noticed that the market share of Air China and Sichuan Airlines at Tianfu International Airport is much lower than their share at Shuangliu International Airport. For Tianfu International Airport to realize its grand hub construction vision, a strong main base air carrier is a necessary condition. Therefore, it is necessary to actively encourage main base air carriers to expand and improve the Tianfu International Airport route network, and encourage main base airlines such as Air China and Sichuan Airlines. The carrier actively becomes the "leader" in the construction and operation of the "two-in-one" construction and operation of the Chengdu International Aviation Hub, leading other airlines to jointly create the Chengdu International Aviation Hub. "The first goose flies first and all the other geese follow", uniting and cooperating to build a beautiful and powerful Chengdu international aviation hub will be a blessing to the development of Chengdu international aviation hub, and will also greatly promote the development process of Chengdu's construction of China's westward gateway hub.
