<h2 class="blog-hed2 pb-lg-4 pb-3 text-lg-center">History of Nanjing Lukou Airport</h2>
<p class="blog-para">Construction of Nanjing Lukou International Airport started on February 28, 1995, and was completed two years later. When the airport opened on July 1, 1997, all civilian operations were transferred to it from Nanjing Dajiaochang Airport, and Nanjing Dajiaochang was converted to a Chinese military air base. Although Nanjing Lukou had been designated an international airport since it began operations, China's state administrations only approved it for foreign aircraft on November 18, 1997. In 2006, China Post started building its express logistics center at Nanjing Lukou to handle its express mail services. Initial construction was completed by 2009, with additional facilities and functions added continuously.</p>
<p class="blog-para">The final project, as planned, would be the largest in Asia and the third-largest of its kind in the world. In 2009, the airport handled 10 million passengers. On March 26, 2010, Singapore Airlines officially ceased its operation between Singapore Changi and Nanjing. In 2013, that number surpassed 15 million, which was 3 million above the terminal's designed operational capacity. In preparation for the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics, hosted by Nanjing, Terminal 2 was completed after more than three years of construction. Also completed were a new parallel runway with taxiways, a new tower, new aircraft parking positions, and new cargo handling facilities. On July 12, 2014, all flights were relocated to Terminal 2, and Terminal 1 was closed for renovation.</p>
