This Shanghai airport, which opened in 1999, replaced Shanghai Hongqiao Airport as Shanghai's international airport and has undergone major growth in recent years with the addition of a second runway in 2005, and longer-term plans to provide four terminals and four runways to meet capacity of 80 million passengers per year are being implemented.

A dedicated airport bus direct to Shanghai Exhibition Centre is also provided, and a metro service linking Shanghai Pudong Airport with the Hong Qiao Airport is due for completion by 2010.
