In the second half of 2025, major airports in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) have witnessed a series of new milestones: the full commissioning of Hong Kong International Airport's three-runway system, the opening of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport's Terminal 3 (T3) and 5th runway, and the launch of Shenzhen Baoan International Airport's 3rd runway... The GBA's world-class airport cluster is taking shape.
As of December 17, 2025, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, as one of China's three national-level all-around gateway-type composite international aviation hubs, had recorded an annual passenger throughput exceeding 80 million for the first time.
This leapfrog growth is not by chance. It stems from not only the continuous optimization and steady upgrading of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport's full-chain operation support system, but also the synergistic boost and strong impetus provided by Guangdong Province and Guangzhou's sports, cultural tourism, and exhibition economies. It stands as a vivid testament to the accelerated development of the GBA and the sustained improvement of the air transport market.
