The airport will not only serve as an international aviation hub but also take the role of creating an aviation economic zone in newly launched Chengdu Eastern New Area.
It's noticed that Chengdu Eastern New Area is located on the main axis from Chengdu to Chongqing. It is expected to accelerate the development of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, an initiative proposed by the Chinese authorities earlier this year, in an attempt to foster a growth pole for high-quality development in western China. The airport will be a major transportation hub of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic rim and open a gateway for further opening-up.
According to the development plan, by 2025, Chengdu Eastern New Area will take an initial shape and the Chengdu Tianfu International Airport's function as an international aviation hub will gradually stand out. And by 2035, the new area will be a modern one and become a core fulcrum of the international aviation hubs. At the time, the new economy sector is expected to take a lead in driving the development of Chengdu Eastern New Area.
