Yantai Penglai International Airport Terminal 2

Yantai / PRC

Designed by Aedas, China Southwest Architectural Design and Research Institute (CSWADI) and Shanghai New Era Airport Design and Research Institute, the new Terminal 2 of Yantai Penglai International Airport is situated to the south of existing Terminal 1. Opened in June 2024, the new airport terminal serves as an intelligent and sustainable gateway for the city, giving Yantai Airport an overall capacity of 23 million passengers and 200,000 tons of cargo annually.

The project adheres to the concept of ‘being holistic, ecological, efficient, flexible, and intelligent’. Adopting an E shaped layout with the main building parallel to the runway, the construction is phased to safeguard future flexibility.
