Development

New destinations

KLM began the first intercontinental air route out of Xiamen, to Amsterdam, on 27 March 2011.^[3] Since then, long-haul traffic has expanded, with XiamenAir launching flights to Sydney, Vancouver and Los Angeles after taking delivery of the Boeing 787.

New airport

Following the opening of Terminal 4 in 2014, Gaoqi airport had little room to expand. As such, a new airport is currently under construction on Dadeng Island, Xiang'an District, currently known as Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport. When completed it will have two new runways, a 550,000 sq meter terminal, and be able to handle up to 45 million passengers, and have subway links to Xiamen railway station.^[4][5]
