It is the base airport of China Southern Airlines Group, Shenzhen Airlines and Hainan Airlines.
[Edit this paragraph] Airport history
It was turned into a civil airport.
Before 1959, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport was a military airport, and Guangzhou's civil airport was in Tianhe, which is now tianhe sports center.
By 1959, Guangzhou Flying Team was moved from Tianhe Airport to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.
Baiyun Airport was originally a military-civilian airport, and it was not until the mid-1960s that Baiyun Airport was changed into a civil airport.
The runway began to "grow"
The initial length of the runway at Baiyun Airport was only 2000 meters.
With the gradual increase of aircraft types, the length of runway is also extended.
By 1964, the runway of Baiyun Airport was "long" from 2000 meters to 2500 meters.
Later, the runway of the airport continued to "grow up". In the 1990s, the airport runway was extended to 3800 meters long and 60 meters wide.
The crew is riding under the plane.
There were not many people flying in the 1980s, and the supervision of Baiyun Airport was not as strict as it is now.
At that time, the crew walked or rode bicycles to the bottom of the plane and then boarded the plane directly.
The apron and runway are not as strict as they are now, and the staff should "act according to circumstances" when walking around.
At that time, not many people could afford bicycles. Many crew members use their peers with bicycles as "drivers" to give them a lift, then put their bicycles in a corner of the tarmac and board the plane directly to perform the task.
Because there was no place to change clothes, the crew put on their uniforms and rode into the tarmac.
Planes often blow away stewardesses.
As soon as the engine of the plane is started, it produces great power, and the crew passing by by by bike are often "blown away".
A flight attendant who worked in the 1980s said that she was not prepared at first, but when she passed by by by bike, she was blown aside with a whoosh, and both people and cars fell to one side.
When the plane left, she got up and started riding again.
Later, someone told them that the wind of the plane engine could blow away a big car.
As a result, they gradually learned the essence. As soon as they saw the engine of the plane start, they either stood farther away or increased their horsepower, hoping to rush over before the engine "power" of the plane broke out.
But sometimes it can't escape, but it is blown away.
You can't enter the terminal without a ticket.
In the early 1990s, because the wharf was not expanded, the area of the old wharf was less than half. Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth progress of Spring Festival travel rush, people without air tickets are not allowed to enter the terminal.
Even if tickets are available, they can only be admitted two hours before the plane takes off.
Starting from 1993, passengers no longer need a letter of introduction from the company when flying. Data show that after the introduction of the new regulations, the demand for flying has greatly increased.
The number of passengers increased gradually, but at that time, the terminal building of Baiyun Airport was small and the equipment was insufficient.
It is understood that there were only six security checkpoints at that time, and passengers began to queue up from the time they entered the terminal; Queue when entering the terminal; You have to queue up to change your boarding pass; Security check should be lined up; There is a queue to board the plane.
Line up several times and calculate the time. You can't complete all the formalities in less than an hour.
Spring Festival travel rush peak tourists line up to buy "snake cakes"
Even if passengers are restricted from entering the terminal, the hall is still crowded.
It is understood that the north wind was blowing outside the terminal at that time, but the passengers waiting in line were sweating.
Because there are many people in the hall and the air is not circulating, under normal circumstances, passengers will take off their clothes while waiting in line.
When I boarded the plane, there was only one coat left.
The airport staff joked that if you want to feel winter, go outside the hall and feel summer. Come in.
Because the outside passengers are not allowed to enter the terminal building, the passengers in the terminal building can't be discharged outside, so the queuing passengers have to queue up in the lobby with "snake cakes".
So, in the hall, the rope was pulled up to maintain order.
The lawn has become a paradise for tourists to rest.
At that time, due to the limited access of the passenger station, many passengers who arrived in advance or bid farewell to their friends gathered outside the lobby of the terminal.
The lawn outside is almost crowded with people and has become a paradise for tourists to rest.
According to the staff, if I hadn't known this was an airport, others would have thought it was a park.
Obey "God" for major surgery
From 65438 to 0995, Baiyun Airport carried out the fifth large-scale reconstruction and expansion of the terminal building, which made Baiyun Airport have the largest check-in hall and security inspection hall in China at that time, which could meet the demand of 4000 passengers per hour during the peak passenger flow.
1997 After the end of Spring Festival travel rush, Baiyun Airport began to carry out large-scale adjustment and transformation of domestic terminal facilities and processes, which was known as the "sixth major operation" of Baiyun Airport.
This "action" started with the problems reflected by the Spring Festival travel rush craze and complied with the will of "God".
After the "major operation", the building area of Baiyun Airport Terminal has increased by more than 5,000 square meters. The terminal is divided into three areas, including 13 check-in counters and 6 boarding gates. The most significant change is that the original 2,000 square meters commercial shop between domestic and international terminals has been cancelled and converted into a two-story corridor, which makes it more convenient for passengers to get in and out of the terminal and get on and off the bus, and no longer suffers from the sun and rain.
Through hard work, the daily passenger throughput can be increased from 6.5438+0.2 million to 4.65438+0.00 million.
terminal
The first phase terminal of the new Baiyun International Airport consists of the main building, the connecting building, the finger gallery and the elevated corridor, with a total area of 3 1 000 square meters. * * * It is divided into four floors, of which the third floor is the departure lounge, the second floor is the arrival mezzanine, the first floor is the arrival hall and commercial floor, and the negative floor leads to the subway, parking lot and airport hotel.

[Edit this paragraph] New Baiyun International Airport
[Introduction of New Baiyun International Airport]
The new Baiyun International Airport is located at the junction of the north of Renhe Town in Baiyun District and the east of Xinhua Town in Huadu City. It is 28 kilometers away from Haizhu Square in the center of Guangzhou, with a total investment of more than 20 billion RMB. It is the first super-large hub airport planned and designed according to international hub airport standards in China. It is also the largest, most advanced and modern international airport in China and one of the three hub airports in China.
The airport was awarded "Top Ten Scientific and Technological Achievements of China Architecture in 2005".
The new Baiyun International Airport is a new landmark building in Guangzhou, a window to show the image of the new Guangzhou, and a new landscape loved by Guangzhou citizens.
[Highlights of New Baiyun International Airport]
Thanks to the intelligent management system, Guangzhou New Baiyun Airport has become one of the most intelligent modern international airports in the world.
There is an intelligent computer management system in the new Baiyun Airport Terminal, which, like people, is "aware of cold and heat" and "aware of darkness".
There are more than 160 elevators in the airport terminal, and all kinds of lighting systems are available.
All these devices are managed by computers: in the terminal, if the number of people in a certain area is less than a certain level, the computer system will sense it and dim the lights in the area; The air conditioning system in different areas of the terminal can automatically adjust the temperature at any time to ensure the comfort of the waiting passengers.
In order to ensure that passengers can "follow" their owners at any time, the new Baiyun Airport has introduced the world's most advanced automatic baggage sorting system, which can sort 10000 pieces of luggage per minute on average.
The whole process takes only 4 minutes from sorting to delivery.
The system can also greatly shorten the transit time. Passengers only need to go through the boarding and transfer procedures themselves, and the baggage sorting system can automatically transfer passengers' luggage to the next flight they will take.
The new Baiyun Airport will also launch the first "baggage reconfirmation" system in China. Once the baggage has boarded the plane but the passenger suddenly can't board the plane in an emergency, the "baggage reconfirmation" system can quickly prompt the specific storage location of the baggage within 5 minutes.
Another highlight of the new Baiyun Airport is the launch of the network intelligent air defense security system, which has laid a solid foundation for security.
According to reports, the system includes CCTV monitoring subsystem, access control subsystem and perimeter alarm subsystem.
These three subsystems are interconnected by computer network technology, forming a set of fully functional security systems.
[FedEx, Partner of New Baiyun International Airport]
In July 2005, FedEx, the world's air express transportation giant, will sign a contract with Guangdong Airport Management Group, and the FedEx Asia-Pacific transshipment center will officially settle in Guangzhou, and the transshipment center will be moved from the Philippines to Guangzhou New Baiyun Airport.
FedEx's transshipment center at Guangzhou New Baiyun Airport will be its largest operation hub in the Asia-Pacific region, which will undertake cargo handling in more than 30 countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region and serve as a bridge connecting the Asia-Pacific region with Europe and the United States.
According to conservative estimation, the center will bring nearly 1 10,000 tons of air cargo throughput to Guangzhou in the first year of operation.
By then, Guangzhou's air cargo throughput will account for half of the country.
FedEx's new Asia-Pacific transshipment center project (including apron, taxiway, sorting center, etc. ) covers an area of 2,446 mu, with a construction area of about 8 1 1 10,000 square meters, with a total investment of 2.446 billion yuan. It is estimated that the total investment can be recovered in 65,438+09 years after the project is put into production.
The construction project of the transshipment center is scheduled to start in May 2006 and is expected to be put into operation in the second half of 2008.
After the completion of the new Asia-Pacific transshipment center, FedEx will arrange the first batch of 20 all cargo planes to park at the new airport, and the fleet number is equivalent to the sum of all cargo planes in China. About 150 cargo flights take off and land every week, and the cargo volume can reach12,000 tons to15,000 tons.
As a transit point for international goods, FedEx Asia-Pacific Transit Center can attract more companies to invest in Guangzhou and enhance its status as an international logistics hub port.
