SHENZHEN Bao'an International Airport has been certified as a 4-star airport by international air transport rating agency Skytrax, after completing an extensive programme of improvements to facilities and service across the airport.
'This is a much deserved recognition of the many improvements that have been made at shenzhen Bao'an International Airport during the last 18 months,' said Edward Plaisted of Skytrax.
'With further developments in progress, we see potential for Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport to meet the highest 5-Star Airport Rating in the coming months,' he said.
The fifth busiest airport in China, all flights operate from Terminal 3 which was opened in November 2013. Primarily a domestic airport, Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport was handling over 50 million passengers annually before Covid and growing the number of international routes and airlines.
Domestic flights have returned to very robust levels by April 2021, and it is expected that international traffic will gradually resume as country borders open and permit travel. In 2022, the Terminal 3 satellite hall will open, adding a further 22 million passenger capacity to the airport.
Recent improvements at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport include the introduction of interactive Information Kiosks across the airport, adding power facilities to departure area seating, relaxed seat areas in several parts of the terminal, new stores including Cartier and Burberry and extended food and beverage outlets.
Terminal 3 is 451,000 square metres, and the cargo facility is 1,660,000 square metres. Terminal 3, which integrates architectural aesthetics, green energy conservation, and functional utility elements, was officially opened in November 2013.
