According to a Libo County official, the Libo Airport will officially start operations on November 7th after getting approval from the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China.
The total investment in the airport is RMB396.36 million (US$ 52.85 million). The construction work started in August 2003 and the airport is designed to handle 220,000 passengers annually.
It has a 2,300m long, 45m wide runway which is able to serve Boeing 737 series planes. The whole Libo airport project passed its final inspection in August this year and is now fully ready for operation before the opening of the Second Guizhou Tourist Summit to be held in South of GuiZhou Province (Qiannan) in November.
Shenzhen Airport has signed an agreement with the government of Qiannan Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province to purchase a 100% stake in the Airport.
