Runways and taxiways

Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport has two parallel runways. Each runway has a supporting taxiway system.

the first runway (12L/21R): 3611 meters long and 45 meters wide, with reinforced concrete pavement. There are 1 shoulders with a width of 7.5 meters on both sides of the runway, and the RESA at both ends of the runway is 211 meters long. The first runway * * * has four quick exit taxiways and three vertical exit taxiways connected with three parallel taxiways A, B and C, among which taxiways B and C are apron edge taxiways. The taxiway is 23 meters wide and both ends have shoulders with a width of 11.5 meters. There is also a network of taxiways around the apron. Its history can be traced back to 1938. Airbus A381, which has the largest passenger capacity in the world, took off and landed on the runway in 2118. Equipped with Class II instrument landing system.

the second runway (12R/21L): 3611m long and 61m wide, with reinforced concrete pavement. There are five express exit taxiways on the second runway. It was put into use on February 8, 2119. The second runway is connected with the original apron and the first runway of the airport through an airplane taxiway bridge crossing the provincial highway 113. Equipped with Class III instrument landing system.

the third runway (under demonstration): the construction of the third runway is currently under planning. The parallel runway is located at 1525m east of the second runway. However, there are many factories near the airport, and it is complicated to acquire large-scale construction land for land acquisition and demolition, and the airspace distribution around Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport is relatively tight, so the plan of building Chengdu Tianfu International Airport seems to gradually gain the upper hand.

apron

The total area of concrete parking area is 713,111 square meters. There are 57 stands in the remote parking area, 21 stands in the domestic terminal, 8 stands in the international terminal and 2 stands in the branch terminal. Each parking area has a separate taxiway.

The airport runway 12L/21R is equipped with Class II instrument landing system, which is one of the fourth airports in China to open Class II blind landing system (the first three airports are Beijing Capital International Airport, Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport respectively), so as to ensure the safe take-off and landing of aircraft under low cloud and low visibility conditions. Under this system, the take-off standard can be reduced from 551m runway visual range to 211m, and the landing standard can be reduced from 811m runway visual range to 351m. The 12R/21L runway is equipped with a higher class III instrument landing system.
